Though G.O.P. county committeemen gave Lindsay their formal endorsement by acclamation at a meeting in Brooklyn's faded Hotel St. George last week, his headlong flight from the party label irked many regulars. The reason for Lindsay's desire to dissociate himself from the Republican Party lay, of course, in New York City's registration figures: 2,378,000 Democrats to 698,000 Republicans. It is perfectly obvious that to win he will need the votes of many Democrats, disenchanted with Wagner and enchanted with him. But it would seem equally obvious that he should...
...newly organized secret Arab commando outfit known as "Asifa" (storm troopers), the Israeli army last week sent 50 of its own commandos across the border. The Israeli raiders entered three Jordanian towns, hastily evacuated civilians, then blew up gas stations, farmhouses and an abandoned mill.

Rebels trying to escape through the rat-infested sewers were flushed out with tear...
...goes, all the way up to Level I (1948 A.D.), when Makor lay I forgotten as Jews fought Arabs. The conservative rabbis fumed when Israeli insurgents broke the Sabbath to man the barricades, llana, an aggressive Israeli she-male, holds off Arab and rabbi alike; between sorties against enemy entrenchments, she launches a noisy diatribe against the rabbi's "ghetto mentality.'' To replace the religion of her fathers, she proclaims for the new state of Israel the gospel of progress...
