...pass any resolution asking for an Israeli pullout from the conquered territory. The Palestine Liberation Organization even suggested that the Arabs set up their own rival U.N. with Red China, and Damascus radio said: "To hell with the U.N." More than a month after the war had ended, none of this brought the Arabs any closer to solving their basic problem in the war's aftermath: how to come back from defeat and live with a stronger Israel that is clearly here to stay, whether they like...
...night and by sun during the day. No matter what the weather, according to ancient Scandinavian sagas, the sun could al ways be located with the aid of magical "sun stones." Summarizing sunstone lore in a recent article in the archaeology magazine Skalk, Danish Archaeologist Thorkild Ramskou lamented that none of the sagas clearly describe the sun stone. "But there seems to be a possibility," he wrote, "that it was an instrument which in clouded weather could show where...
Lengthy Gaps. Smith's claim to great age has more documentary support than most, but it is not enough.

His account of his life contains lengthy, vague gaps. And though his memory goes far back, some suggest that what he is remembering about events is what he was told years after they had happened-just like Bridey Murphy, whose claims of "reincarnation" created such...
...none of these records has documented the survival of a U.S. citizen past 111 years. Nor have the incredible assertions of such hardy Soviet peasants as Shirali Muslimov, who claims to be 161 or more, been borne out. One likely reason for their confusion is that in parts of Central Asia years are computed in twelve-year cycles, each year being named for an animal. Thus a man born in the year of the horse might have been born in 1846 or 1858 or 1870-and not understand the difference in time...
Disguised Footprints. At first, Itō and his fellow stragglers ate raw breadfruit and coconuts and lived in a cave. None of them was a woodsman, and none had gone through even a basic survival course in the Imperial Army. (Itō was the son of a well-to-do farmer and had an eighth-grade education.) Slowly they learned to adapt themselves to jungle life, and their habits changed...
