...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...
Among OGO accomplishments: map ping the earth's magnetic field; plotting the puzzling bursts of radio noise from Jupiter; and revealing a surprising boundary layer of ions (charged sub atomic particles) some 16,000 to 24,000 miles out in space. By continuously transmitting such evidence, OGOs have given scientists an unprecedented blue print of the earth's environment...
...only the agent of destruction, it is also the precursor of change. With the erasure of the Arab military machine, Israel has indelibly redrawn the political map of the Middle East. Until the Arabs, Russians, and the United Nations grasp this reality, a peacful settlement in the Middle East will remain illusory...
...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. It is anybody's guess...
