...heightened by the fact that the Israelis react harshly to terrorist incidents. They dynamite scores of Arab homes, detain hundreds of suspects, impose long and frequent curfews, and at times even stop food distribution. Last week the Gaza Strip was the scene of the first major eruption of pent-up Arab resentment over Israeli occupation in the year since...

...under De Gaulle, it appeared as if France had come to regard disciplined stability as its new norm; never before had the Gaullist government proved ineffectual at suppressing defiance. "I respect only those who resist me," De Gaulle once said, "but I cannot tolerate them." This time, the pent-up suppressions and frustrations created by ten years of orderly Gaullism not only erupted in force but swiftly widened into large-scale social revolt. The blow was doubly painful; the events irrevocably tarnished De Gaulle's authority when he was already at an age (77) that would scarcely allow...

One, wounded in the foot, was Author Eldridge Cleaver, 32, whose jarring eloquence bares the pent-up black rage that inspires the Panthers' snarling intransigence. "We shall have our manhood," warns Cleaver, the party's information minister, in his recently published book Soul on Ice (TIME, April 5). "We shall have it or the earth will be leveled by our attempts to gain...

Black Power sentiment is fed, among other things, by the urban Negro's pent-up resentment of the white businessmen who make their living from the slum's daily needs. These white-run enterprises, blacks complain, not only batten on the ghetto's misery by overcharging for shoddy goods but also siphon off their profits from Negro neighborhoods and seldom employ black workers...
