...rights while he is wiping that someone's saliva from his face, or pulling a rock out of his eye. I like to believe that the majority of people would be inclined to place the trust and safety of their rights in the hands of the police, lest they be trampled by these heroic martyrs of Judge Hoffman's courtroom. And after seeing a few of the pictures of the police alongside of these seven paragons of Christian virtue, I can't help wondering where they get the gall to call anyone...
...since the time that Harry Truman overrode Secretary of State George Marshall's advice and recognized the new state. Yet, as the Israelis themselves point out, Washington's interests do not and need not necessarily mirror Jerusalem's at every turn. The U.S. is justifiably concerned lest the festering hostilities in the Middle East erupt into another major war, renewing the danger of a Soviet-American confrontation.

...have loved every mean minute of it. They forgive his outbursts as part of his almost fanatical passion for winning, a feat that now takes as much heart as art. He has made concessions. He uses a lighter aluminum racket. He cuts the pockets out of his tennis shorts lest they get soggy with sweat and weigh him down. And he has taken to rigorous training, practicing three hours daily and jogging around his eight-acre Pancho Gonzalez Tennis Ranch in Malibu, Calif. As for court tactics, he likens himself to an aging boxer who can no longer rely...
