...bomb that explodes in the house of an Israeli labor attaché near Bonn draws the attention not only of West German authorities but also of intelligence agents from Tel Aviv, led by a man named Kurtz (a.k.a. Schulmann, Raphael, Spielberg). He knows who is responsible for the blast: a shadowy Palestinian called Khalil who has terrorized Western Europe with apparent impunity. Kurtz pays his hidden adversary a supreme compliment: "There's a brain at work." Kurtz has also located Khalil's younger brother and collaborator, currently living in Munich, and has a team of agents in place...
...bait in Kurtz's plan is Charmian (called Charlie), an English actress whose haphazardly radical political involvements qualify her (á la Vanessa Redgrave) for the role Kurtz wants her to play. She is the rebellious middle-class type who could very well be swept away by a sensual young Palestinian and his burning desire to regain his homeland. Kurtz assigns Becker, an aging but still handsome Israeli war hero, to recruit Charlie and then teach her how to act in "the theater of deeds." A fictitious love affair must be fabricated between Charlie and the younger brother, whom...

The setting is "another world, another time, in the Age of Wonder." A war between the benevolent Mystics (who look like shaggy-dog anteaters) and the evil Skeksis (pustular...
Even if the United States and the Soviet Union cannot recognize the advantage of banning particularly destructive weapons, we, at civilized Harvard, could do some good by reducing the chances of someone being really hurt at one of our strange rituals. Ron Kurtz...
...most popular of these computer tongues is BASIC (for Beginner's All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code). Developed at Dartmouth by Mathematician John Kemeny and his colleague Thomas Kurtz to let even the least mathematically gifted student converse with the university's computers, it is "understood" by virtually all of today's personal computers. To show just how easy the language is, Kemeny offers this extremely simple lesson in programming: tell the computer to find the square roots (i.e., the numbers that when multiplied by themselves, yield the original numbers) of eleven successive values, say 20 through...
