Kissinger, explains the book, "saw in the President an antagonistic, gut reaction which stereotyped Jews and convinced Nixon that they were his enemies." One sign of that attitude was Nixon's frequent protest, "The Jewish cabal...
Islamic delegates sought the U.N. debate in order to protest Israeli occupation of the Jordan West Bank and expropriation of Arab land by Jewish religious extremists. Even as the Security Council met, West Bank Arabs continued their protests (TIME, March 29) against Jewish prayers at East Jerusalem's Temple Mount, which is also the site of an Islamic shrine.

Regardless of the U.N. resolution and its fate, West Bankers are likely to continue their protests; after nearly nine years they are tired of Israeli occupation and alarmed over the encroachment of Jewish settlers.

While the New York incidents were certainly silly as well as criminal, the Soviet telethon...
English Professor Daniel Seltzer's classroom antics have made him a character on the Princeton University campus; during lectures, he suddenly breaks into near perfect imitations of Peter Lorre or John Gielgud or a Jewish mother. He can also transform his Shakespeare and modern drama classes into vibrant theater, effortlessly slipping into the role of King Lear, perhaps, or Uncle Vanya. But to the dismay of Seltzer's students, their professor is saving his best dramatic efforts these days for enthusiastic audiences on Broadway...
