...time the Sismik reached the Aegean, the whole 17,500-man Greek navy-seven submarines, 15 destroyers and 25 patrol boats-was on alert. Its main points of concern were the islands of Lemnos, Lesbos, Chios and Rhodes, all within 20 miles of the Turkish coast. During her first days in the Aegean, the Sismik confined herself to what were clearly Turkish waters, but then she began taking soundings off Lemnos. The Greek destroyer Lightning was ordered to close in on the Sismik. Its instructions: "Hold your fire, but be prepared for any eventuality." At the same time, however, fresh...
That praise stems partly from his success at nabbing-and deterring -Arab terrorists. The police took over internal security in 1974, when the government decided that it needed more specialization in anti-terror tactics. Rosolio now also commands the border patrol and the civil guard, a voluntary army of 110,000 citizens. Last year terrorists plotted 150 attacks in Israel; the police stopped more than 50% before they started and collared most of the other guerrillas soon after they struck.

With Khatib's tacit permission, Israeli combat teams now patrol as deeply as three miles inside Lebanon, searching both for Syrian units and terrorists. They are also there to prevent fedayeen retaliation against border villagers, who in recent months have turned more and more to Israel for assistance...
...these payments to government-influenced decisions to buy Lockheed planes. One case involves a 1972 decision by All Nippon Airways to buy Lockheed passenger jets, despite having taken a prior option to purchase McDonnell-Douglas aircraft. In a second case, the Japanese reversed plans to build their own antisubmarine patrol planes, and instead decided to study the Lockheed P-3C Orion. If the cash pocketed by Tanaka can be tied to these decisions, Tanaka will almost surely be charged with bribery, a serious offense opening him to a maximum prison sentence of 1 5 years...
