...INDIAN WANTS THE BRONX and IT'S CALLED THE SUGAR PLUM are one-acters marking the propitious off-Broadway debut of 28-year-old Israel Horovitz. Plum is an absurd love waltz between a boy and girl. Bronx boils up a cauldron of terror with the litter of abused humanity, as two street punks ridicule, badger, and finally knife to death a bewildered East Indian on his first day in New York City...
...ship-clearing operation had begun smoothly enough. For two days Israeli soldiers idly watched from the east bank while Egyptian tugs probed south of the midway port of Ismailia to chart an exit channel past sunken obstacles (scuttled ships, downed jets). Then, breaking a tacit understanding with Israel that they would clear only the southern half of the canal, the Egyptians suddenly announced that they also wanted to look over the canal's northern half.

Their entire crews-69 Israelis and 52 Frenchmen -were lost with them...
...weeks this winter, Mrs. More was the foster mother of two of the children, Nguyen Phat Luom and Trang Cuong Viet, who were treated for severe urns and shrapnel wounds at the Beth Israel Hospital in November. Mrs. Moore accompanied the two children back to their families and left Saigon on January 30, only 12 hours before the current Viet Cong offensive began...
