...Major General Carl Carlsson von Horn (the U.N.'s new Palestine truce chief) arranged a cease-fire and an impartial U.N. land survey.

Last week, after U.N. surveyors found that the Israelis were indeed digging into the demilitarized zone, the Israeli diggers duly shifted a few yards to the west and sank their bulldozer blades into indubitably Israeli dirt.

But now newcomers are guaranteed 250 days...
...said Kurt Lieser, 47, the stranger, "that I spent the war in a concentration camp, and am Jewish." "What?" Zind exclaimed. "That means they forgot to gas you, too?
