...from the Middle East, the war be tween Israelis and Arabs claimed several other civilian casualties last week. At Munich's Riem airport, three swarthry men sauntered toward passengers of an El Al jet en route from Tel Aviv to London. The three, later identified as two Jordanians and an Egyptian, suddenly began tossing grenades and firing pistols. One Israeli was fatally wounded and 11 other people were hurt. At first, German police assumed that the three were after Actor Assaf Dayan, 23, Moshe's son, who was the first passenger to notice the Arabs. Papers...
...woman scorned, ex-Wife Louwtjie Barnard, 47, says those memoirs occasionally lapse into pure -or impure-invention. For instance, Barnard's recollection that he had left his wife's bed on their wedding night and watched a televised boxing match instead. Louwtjie told reporters in Munich that the surgeon "never was a gentleman," adding, "but I always was a lady." She had a final warning for her ex: "You can't become a playboy and a scientist at the same time. One has to give...
...Ulbricht, the East bloc's last surviving Stalinist, read a 52-minute speech. Then for the next 90 minutes he answered written questions. After he had finished, there was confusion in West Germany over exactly what he meant.

...absence of poetics-and heroics -seems appropriate, but the reader is warned that Calder's historic rehash is served up with the left hand. Tories are the villains-for Munich, for building the wrong sort of planes, for sheer Blimpishness. The fact that the Labor Party kept on thinking that it could have peace and disarmament is barely mentioned. Such partisanship ill becomes a study that ends with the Empire overseas liquidated to the tune of 4,000 million pounds sterling, 500,000 dwellings smashed, 355,000 dead (62,000 of them civilians), more rationing looming up, and "with...
Unfuzzy Truth. Into this soft-focus world Trevor introduces an antagonist, Mrs. Eckdorf, a cold-eyed photographer from Munich, with her efficient camera. She is a producer of coffee-table books -still-life documentaries of an atheistic priest and his parish, of the trail of a murderer in Colorado. She intends to photograph O'Neill's Hotel with pitiless clarity on the occasion of Mrs. Sinnott's 92nd birthday party. She wants to bring out all the unfuzzy truth about present and past, including why, almost 30 years before, Mrs. Sinnott's daughter and daughter...
