...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...
Such opportunities are getting harder to find. The U.N. Security Council recently passed a resolution condemning countries that harbor mercenaries. Only three weeks ago, French police detained seven mercenary recruits as they boarded a plane in Nice for service in the Congo. And Belgium is about to pass a law providing strict penalties for recruitment of meres. But whatever the restrictions, while there are wars to be won, mercenary soldiers are likely to find a job.

For at 78, Lady Baden-Powell, widow of scouting's founder, still serves as Chief Commissioner of the 6,000,000-member World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts ("We've had them all-Queen Elizabeth, Queen Juliana of The Netherlands, and that nice little Queen of Greece"), urges forward the cause of scouting with unflagging noblesse.

Thidwick the Big-Hearted Moose is a model of kindness who lets animals ride on his horns because "a host, above all, must be nice to his guests." Geisel wrote about "star-bellied Sneetches," who thought they were better than "plain-bellied Sneetches," to score points against prejudice. He does not mind being called "the greatest moralist since Elsie Dinsmore," contends that it is both right and inevitable that "you can find a moral...
...dyes have risen from $25 million to $186 mil lion a year. So popular is their use that some states no longer require women to list their hair color on their driver's licenses. Now industry-leading Bristol-Myers' Clairol division, whose Miss Clairol, Lady Clairol, Nice 'n Easy, Loving Care and Summer Blonde cremes and rinses have been aimed mostly at would-be blondes, is making a major effort to add more shades. Last week in Seattle and Phoenix the company began test-marketing six "Radiantly Red" hair colors with such names as Fire brand, Heady...
