...last you have exploded the myth that Israel is interested in making peace with the Arabs. When will you explode the second myth, that "Israel is more than a match for all the Arab forces combined"? Why doesn't she prove this by going to fight now? After all, it has become clear to the world that Nasser has "brazenly" challenged her to do so. This should be her chance, for wouldn't a total defeat inflicted on the Egyptians mean a welcome end to her troubles? Why is she hesitating? Or will she this time create still...

Behind this recent tale of international crime and punishment was the simple fact that the Geneva teller had just read a counterfeiting advisory put out by the International Criminal Police Organization-Interpol. The glamorous acronym invokes images of SMERSH-smashing undercover men from U.N.C.L.E. but the glamour is a myth.

This biography of Bobby Kennedy is not quite as venomous as Victor Lasky's J.h.K.: The Man & the Myth, nor does it have the I-was-there authenticity of Theodore Sorensen's Kennedy, or the sharp historical insights of Arthur Schlesinger Jr.'s A Thousand Days. Nevertheless, De Toledano's R.F.K. owes plenty to all three-along with dozens of other filchable Bobby notes and quotes from a multitude of other public-library-shelf sources. Predictaoly, the author has let his right-wing bias warp the good and winnow only the bad from the reams...
