...common in a new course in coexistence called "The Arab Citizens of Israel." The study program is designed to help defuse the hatred between the nation's 3.5 million Jews and 700,000 Arab citizens. When the course, built upon a text written by Alouph Hareven of the Van Leer Jerusalem Foundation, and two others, was initially tested on about 1,000 Jewish high schoolers in 1983-84, hostility could hardly have been more intense. Six wars in 37 years have generated over 37,000 Israeli casualties and many more among Arabs. No Arab citizen has ever been a member...
...Post No. 2 where the stock of the United States Steel Corp., most pivotal of all U. S. stocks, is traded in. Steel too, had been sinking fast. Having broken down through 200, it was now at 190. If it should sink further, Panic with its most awful leer, might surely take command.

...Each of us should have the experience to answer questions about himself for one day." Leer said at a press conference prior to yesterday's symposium. "Answering those questions reminds me of attitudes and ideas I've long forgotten," he added...
...frat-house leer is evident in today's collegiate slang. To get naked means to have a good time, whether or not sex is involved. (That is a new shortened form of the get-drunk-and-get-naked party, which collegians fantasized about 20 years ago.) At Michigan State University, one who is vomiting is driving the bus, a reference to the toilet seat and the wretch's need to hang on to it. Sckacks means ugly. A two-bagger is a girl who requires exactly that to cover her ugliness. Young women, of course, retaliate. At breakfast...
