...first the Israelis maintained that the fire was accidental. A welding torch was found beneath the roof, where work men had been repairing old timbers treated with inflammable linseed oil. Some angry Israelis suggested that, just as the Nazis had burned down the Reichstag and blamed it on the Communists, Al-Fatah terrorists had set fire to the shrine so that the Israelis could be blamed and emotions aroused throughout the Arab world...
...Front's strong appeal to peas ants and intellectuals. But in firing Huong, a politically independent civilian, and replacing him with a soldier, Thieu seemed to be moving in the opposite direction.

Within the past year, INA Corp., the holding company for Insurance Co. of North America, has acquired World Airways, a charter carrier, and a manufacturer of fire-preventing sprinkler systems. Travellers Corp., owner of Hartford's Travellers Life Insurance Co., is dickering to buy Randolph Computer Corp., a major computer-leasing firm. This month, CNA Financial Corp., the Chicago-based owner of a group of life-and casualty-insurance firms...
