...line of Jewish university students outside the hall, had to enter through the back door. Inside, loud and strident objectors in the audience of 1,700 repeatedly interrupted his speech, which he delivered in Yiddish, with catcalls and jeers. Levin was booed when he reported that there was a kosher slaughterhouse in Moscow, booed again when he said Jews were admitted freely into Russian schools and had no trouble getting jobs.

Israeli and Jordanian police, working side by side, had all they could do to keep the surging throngs of pedestrians safely on the sidewalks, and their job was made no easier by emotional Arabs who insisted on embracing each other...
...asked the Russians for their 2,500,000 Jews. Soon after the war's start, Nasser made a brief guest appearance on the popular Cairo TV show, Where's My Line? Reports from the second day of fighting indicated that the Egyptians had destroyed four Jeeps, a kosher mobile kitchen and 14 air-conditioned Cadillacs. The Israelis claimed 400 MIGs and 24 flying carpets. Ralph Nader launched a campaign to provide Arab tanks with back-up lights...
