Actually, the attacks fortified Egyptian resolve and made him stronger than ever. Arab anger over the Phantoms increased to high pitch after two raids early this year in which bombs killed 88 noncombatant factory workers at a town called Abu Zabal and 38 schoolchildren at Bahr Al-Bakar. In January, Nasser made a quick and secret trip to the Soviet Union to seek additional military equipment. The Soviet response was to provide additional MIG-21s-flown by Soviet pilots-and SA3 missiles operated by Russian crews. The Soviet intervention changed the Middle East. It had become a point of possible...
...service steers clear of what Earner calls "blatant advocacy." Says he: "There is advocacy in the sense that we exist at all, but our reporting and editing is strictly professional. There is no pitch or special line." All CNS reports contain a complete listing of sources and their telephone numbers. The data help subscribers to use CNS stories as a starting point for their own coverage. So far the clients have been impressed.

Given a rather earthbound production by England's Nottingham Playhouse company, A Yard of Sun still rises to Fry's characteristic pitch, which might be described as cheeky-cosmic.

She could hit a note right in the middle when she wanted to, but she could also shade a vowel with any one of a thousand different flat slurs that seemed always at her disposal. Her message came out with a clear diction few lieder singers could match. She shaped a song as though its architecture were sonata form, not repetitious twelve-bar patterns...
Anna and Bonnie. Style, it developed, did not have to filter down to the streets: it might just as easily, and did, start there. The hue and cry for custom clothes, at full pitch only five years ago, has become a whisper in the stores. Says Bonwit Teller President William Fine: "The line-for-line derby is not consistent with the changing times and mood of the consumer." Saks Fifth Avenue, Macy's and Alexander's have dropped their import copies. Lord & Taylor plans to continue its reproductions in different fabrics. But the only Manhattan department store still...
