CAMERA THREE (CBS, 11-11:30 a.m.). The 40-year career of Orson Welles is chronicled in two parts, beginning with his performance in Ashley Duke's Jew Süss at Dublin's Gate Theater at age 16, and taking him up to Hollywood in the Forties, including Citizen Kane...
...Arab reaction was immediate and violent. Charging that the Jew had usurped Arab land, the combined armies of Egypt, Transjordan, Iraq, Lebanon and Syria marched on Israel the following day and bombers attacked Tel Aviv. The Arabs were roundly drubbed. Outnumbered at first by 20 to 1, Israeli soldiers outfought, outmaneuvered and outgunned the Arabs, who were finally forced to ask for a cease-fire after eight months of fighting. But although they put down their guns, the Arabs still refused to recognize the existence of Israel. Their pride was stung, and they swore vengeance. During the war, moreover...
...miracle confined to the tiny Jewish homeland. "Israel," says Ben-Gurion, "has created a new image of the Jew in the world?the image of a working and an intellectual people, of a people that can fight with heroism.

...late '50's and early '60's, Preminger turned to social spectacle (Anatomy of a Murder, Exodus, Advice and Consent, The Cardinal). His latest movie, Hurry Sundown, has in fact prompted many critics to suggest that what Preminger did for the Jew in Exodus and for the Catholic in The Cardinal--whatever that is--he is now doing for the American Negro. But viewed as a picture about race relations, Hurry Sundown is meaningless and banal. The great social dilemmas of the age have somehow passed Otto Preminger by the way, and his perceptions seem no longer relevant...
Double Play. Meanwhile, though the Arabs continued to talk tough, they were busy looking for exits through which they could escape with honor. The plain fact was that, as Arab and Jew squared off for battle in the hazy heat of a khamsin desert wind, no one wanted the battle to start. From the beginning, the crisis had been the product of massive miscalculations. Nasser, who has repeatedly and publicly warned that the Arabs are not yet strong enough to take on Israel, made the first mistake by signing a mutual defense pact with his fellow leftists in Syria...
