Instant Replay. The latest crisis is rooted in the 1963 decision by the Italian Socialist party to break its postwar alliance with the Communists and join the Christian Democrats in a centerleft coalition, the much-discussed apertura a sinistra, or opening to the left. In the Socialists' opinion, the opening never came, because the government proved to be more center than left. The Socialists complained that the Christian Democrats never delivered on promised economic and social reforms. As a result, in May's general election, the Socialists lost one-quarter of their votes to the extreme left...
...worst Arab terrorist bombing since three truckloads of explosives demolished Ben Yehuda Street in 1948, and the latest in a series of thrusts by Arab fedayeen commandos. Last August, ten people were wounded in Jerusalem during an attack still referred to as the "night of the grenades." In September, one Israeli was killed and ten injured by a bomb in Tel Aviv's bus station. On those occasions, angered Israelis rioted in nearby Arab sections.

Snow (The Corridors of Power, The Two Cultures), who is celebrated for his observations on the disparity between the worlds of science and the humanities. Lord Snow issued his warning last week as he delivered the John Findlay Green lecture at Westminster College...
Coogan's Bluff, Siegel's latest film, will bolster his already exalted position among his followers, even though it may not do much to make his name a household word. Like most of the other 24 pictures he has directed (among them: Madigan, Riot in Cell Block 11), this one is the sort of gritty cops-and-robbers movie that audiences take for granted. Coogan's Bluff has all the qualities that distinguished Siegel's previous efforts: it is fast, tough and so well made that it seems to have evolved naturally, almost without benefit of cast, crew or rehearsal...
