...reason and reasonableness of the Israeli terms, they have thus far been rejected outright by the defeated Arabs. With the sole exception of Tunisia, whose President, Habib Bourguiba, has long argued for making peace with Israel, the Arab governments still refuse to recognize the existence of the Jewish state. At the U.N. last week, the Arab nations and their supporters seemed determined to win back by diplomacy what their armies had lost in battle...
...merely $1,700 over five years. It was all O'Hare's fault for sloppy bookkeeping, Dodd argued, calling him "a liar and a forger and a thief." Moreover, Dodd declared, if the Senate really believed one of its members guilty of larceny, it should expel him outright rather than censure him. It was a shrewd challenge. At week's end the Senate agreed to vote separately on the billing and campaign-fund counts...
These students, who are far more numerous than outright draft resistors, believe that the current course of U.S. action promises nothing but a possibly interminable war and the chance of a military conflict with the Chinese Communists.

This time the Defense Department shied away from its politically unpopular proposal to merge federal Reserve and the state-run Guard. Instead, it recommended outright elimination of 15 understrength Guard divisions, four Reserve brigades and many other smaller units. Total authorized personnel would shrink by only 38,500-to 640,000-because surviving combat units would be reinforced to permit their deployment within eight weeks of call-up and some new outfits would be formed. All combat components would be in the Guard, which would have eight divisions and 18 brigades on quick-response status. The active Reserve would consist...
