Likud leaders insist that the occupation under a new government will not become as anti-Arab as West Bankers fear. Ezer Weizman, who as Likud's probable choice for Defense Minister would become the new overseer, may even withdraw the army occupation force and replace it with border police. Says Weizman: "I think we should start changing our Arab and military government policies. If I discover misuse of power, humiliation on purpose, or mishandling of the civilian population, heads will be chopped...
...obvious reason for rubeola's resurgence is the failure of many parents -as well as doctors-to insist on shots for youngsters. Though every state except Wyoming, Iowa and Idaho has regulations requiring measles protection, schools-the best places to screen children-do not always demand proof of vaccinations.

All lips shall remain pursed, if you please. All humor will be in the service of social...
Jerry Lewis is tragically pathetic--not because he is funny, but precisely because he isn't funny. People who condemn the Lampoon for seeing humor in tragedy insist on their right to see tragedy in humor. These people claim that "Poonies"--like "Moonies"--lack something in their personalities; this is absolutely true, but at least Poonies try to make up for that lack through humor; "serious" people refuse to realize their own weaknesses, and thereby create a new weakness in themselves, a new lack; they lack humor, and the distance entailed in humor, necessary to arrive at fresh perspectives...
