...fascist Zionists? Who else could uncover a Central American conspiracy linking the United Fruit Co. and B'nai B'rith? Who else could resist the sensual, calculating Israeli agent Judith Hertz ("You have the body of a goddess but the soul of a devil")? Who else could interrupt an African chase to lecture streetwalkers in Lourenço Marques on the evils of colonialism...
...weekend, apprehension intensified with reports of a South Vietnamese attack on Communist forces across the Laotian border. The presumed goal: to dislodge the enemy from his sanctuary and interrupt a heavy flow of supplies, as was done in Cambodia last spring (see THE WORLD).

...difficult life because of the nature of the Viet Nam War. Where, in another kind of conflict, their men would be heroes, now antiwar groups in their own land denounce the cause for which the men were fighting in language like that used by the enemy. Crank telephone calls interrupt whatever tranquillity they can find. President Nixon has pronounced himself pleased with their patience, but their patience is wearing thin. Increasingly, some of the wives complain that the U.S. Government is not doing enough. Some of them have been driven to espouse the offer put forward by the Viet Cong...
