...quickly broken up. Still, the fedayeen thrust continues. There are armed incidents almost every day and the guerrillas come with better equipment and more spirit than they showed a year ago. Two recent attacks on fortified Israeli positions were led by officers-a rare event in the past. Earlier this month, in a well-planned strike, half a dozen guerrillas belonging to the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (see box, page 42) blew up Aramco's trans-Arabian pipeline linking Saudi Arabia and Lebanon across 25 miles of formerly Syrian, now Israeli-held territory. The Israelis, working...
...Rockefeller had not expected cancellations, but he treated them with understanding. "As one Latin American said to me, 'You've gotten us off the back pages and onto the front page in the United States,'' the Governor told TIME last week. He added: "After the past six or seven years, without strong and clear policy direction on the part of the U.S., our relations have seriously deteriorated. Things will get progressively worse if we continue to ignore Latin America. It is a very serious situation in terms of the future...
Cripple Crown. Though Majestic Prince went to the post as the 13-to-10 favorite, he was bucking more formidable odds. In the past two decades, only four other horses had come into the Belmont with a chance of taking the Triple Crown. Tim Tarn in 1958, Carry Back in 1961, Northern Dancer in 1964 and Kauai King in 1966 all were defeated...
...Front. At 26, Jones is, by Mets' standards, a grizzled veteran. For years, he has been yearning for a .300-plus batting average. His trouble in the past, he believes, stemmed from well-meaning managers who insisted that he pull the ball toward Shea Stadium's beckoning leftfield fences. Cleon dutifully followed their advice until the middle of the 1968 season, when he decided in a fit of frustration to return to his natural swing. He has been hitting better than .300 ever since. "I'm a line-drive hitter," he explains, "and I have...
Into Bankruptcy. So large are the deficits that orchestras have been forced to dip into endowments to survive. In the past five years, the Chicago Symphony has had to dip into its endowment so regularly that it has shrunk from $6,200,000 to $1,000,000. In Cleveland, the orchestra is about to tap its endowment fund for $600,000 to help meet a 1968-69 deficit of $1,100,000. If the same thing happens next year, says Orchestra President Alfred M. Rankin, the endowment fund will be wiped out, and the orchestra built by George Szell over...
