Before it ended, the eleven-day siege of Wounded Knee had thoroughly disrupted the rest of the 2,400-sq.-mi. reservation. In the town of Pine Ridge, 20 miles southwest, the BIA office sent workers home and stopped distributing welfare checks...
TIME has learned that Israel has sent elite commando units more than 1,200 miles beyond its borders to occupy several uninhabited islands within 85 miles of Bab el Mandeb. It has set up a radio and radar base on one of them, Zuqar, a 70-sq.-mi. waterless chunk of rock and sand in the Hanish group only 20 miles off the coast of Yemen. (Yemen claims sovereignty over Great Hanish, but the other ten islands in the group are officially unowned.) The Israeli commandos speak fluent Arabic, wear no uniforms and fly no flags.

By the end of 1974, a settlement large enough to support 350 families will have been built. By the end of the century, if the planners have their way, the settlement...
