...territories make "a very nice map to look at," observes Defense Minister Moshe Dayan with a smile-and with good reason. Far from overextending the Israeli army, the conquered lands have, in fact, shortened Israel's land borders and made them much easier to defend. Israel's new frontier with Jordan runs for 60 miles rather than 180 and, equally important, it runs along the Jordan River rather than through a twisting, tortured no man's land of hills and scrub. The old Negev Desert border stretched a porous 160 miles. With the addition of Sinai, Israel...
...violent quake that killed 2,477 people last August. It was the second earthquake to sunder Turkey within five days; on July 22 about 100 people were killed and 300 injured in a series of shocks that struck 50 towns near Adapazari. Like previous Turkish quakes (see map), the latest disasters were located along the Anatolian Fault, a particularly lethal segment of the earthquake belts that coil around the globe. Along the Anatolian Fault, some 40,000 persons have lost their lives in eleven earthquakes since...
...played dashing walk-on parts in innumerable histories and memoirs. His eleventh, Fawn M. Brodie, has shown her skill before (Reconstructionist Thaddeus Stevens, Mormon Joseph Smith). She intrepidly explores the intrepid explorer, and in Burton the mystery is darker than any continent. He is a hard chap to map. His source may lie in the Peaks of Paranoia or the Pools of Narcissus.

...gives periodic tours and illustrated talks, especially to school children. And he hopes soon to expand the Museum's exhibition space in the Meeting-House. Those who desire to advance the Museum's work may become members for five dollars a year. The Museum also offers for sale a map, "Freedom Trails of Negro History in Boston," as well as postcards...
...course there are plenty of post-Lindbergh improvements along the way. Whether a pilot takes the northern route or one of the less volatile southern routes (New York-Gander-Azores-Lisbon or New York-Bermuda-Azores-Lisbon), he can get essentially the same map and weather-chart information that airline pilots have. Beyond that, there are radar checks on his progress all along the route, chiefly from nine ocean vessels on station that send out radio beacons. Canadian officials refused for years to allow single-engine planes to begin transoceanic flights from their airfields because the ensuing air-sea rescue...
