...P.L.O. Many blacks feel that the continued denial of self-determination for the Palestinians is a human-rights issue, one in which they share an interest, and that the P.L.O. represents the Palestinians. The Israelis differentiate between the Palestinians and the P.L.O., insisting that the P.L.O. is simply a terrorist gang, with whom they will never negotiate. When Israeli U.N. Ambassador Yehuda Blum lectured black leaders for meeting with the P.L.O. representative to the U.N. and implied that blacks ought to leave Middle East policy to those who understand it, blacks were furious at being patronized.

...White House statement asserted that "these criminal defendants have a clear interest in making false and sensational charges in an effort to bargain for leniency." Rubell said that he would testify against Jordan only "if they [the Federal Government] give us the right situation" and in fact had told two deputies of Attorney General Civiletti: "I am not going to testify unless I have immunity."

After 1912, faced by the ruin of his timber interests, Adams' father, a mild, benevolent man with a deep amateur interest in astronomy, made a career at life insurance. He continued to raise his only child in Edwardian respectability, in a chalet-like house overlooking the Golden Gate...
Here, between the ocean, the fog banks and a coast still innocent of condominiums, the child's interest in wild nature began. "I was a hyperactive brat," Adams recalls. He was educated at home by tutors, and he ascribes his lifelong habit of keeping meticulous records of every motif, exposure and chemical mix to an early taste for algebra. But the main obsession of his youth was music...
