Some have denounced the anniversary events, fearing that they will create added tension. For Israel to go through with the parade, said U.N. Secretary-General U Thant, "could well have an adverse effect" on peace efforts in the Middle East. But the government of Premier Levi Eshkol sees the parade as a means of keeping alive the patriotic fervor of last summer.

The stage was set for retaliation...
Diamond Studs. American designers were not to be outdone at the Esquire-sponsored show. Bill Blass demonstrated his fondness for the military look with a heavy, maxi-length overcoat. For evening, John Weitz, a onetime race-car driver, showed a Levi-styled dinner jacket worn over a collarless shirt with a red bandanna knotted around the throat. Francis Toscani, who designs Botany-brand suits for a Philadelphia clothing manufacturer, aimed for versatility: the pocket panels of his fitted lounging coat were attached by Velcro strips and could be removed to convert the coat into a short Eisenhower jacket, presumably enabling...
