...Israelis insist that declarations of Arab nonbelligerency have not protected them in the past. Neither did the Security Council's guarantee of free passage in the Strait of Tiran when Israel withdrew after the 1956 Suez campaign; the U.N. did not prevent Egypt from blockading the Strait just before the June War. Therefore withdrawal from the occupied territories in exchange for such concessions from the Arabs is unacceptable to the Israelis. What they want is more time. By simply sitting tight since the Six-Day War, the Israelis argue, they have induced the Arabs to hold indirect talks through...

Industry leaders, however, insist that the new system will reduce operational troubles faster than...
...Dizzy Gillespie, a prince of bebop. Sickened by the banalities of Communist bureaucracy, Arlecq looks forward to the delights of the West (or "the WEST," as he put it). When he finally does reach Oobliadooh, he finds things just as unsatisfactory as they were back home. "I must insist on a little more enthusiasm," his friend and fellow refugee Paasch says severely. So back they go, testifying, as Arlecq notes, to their "good citizenship by an unqualified return to our workersandpeasants state...
