...trouble with the Israelis is that they are too damn decent and moral. Arabs are without scruples, and where it suits their purposes they break cease-fire agreements, employ paramilitary terrorists, plant bombs in marketplaces, hijack and shoot at Israeli civilian planes, kill Jews and their gentile sympathizers in Europe and America, enlist the use of U.N. agencies in their cause, and generally ignore civilized conduct and international laws and norms. It is time that the Israelis also ignored international conventions and played the same immoral game...

Suddenly, however, those walkouts seemed as harmless as prolonged tea breaks compared with what was happening across the Channel: > In Italy, 130,000 workers left Turin's Fiat plant, and thousands more struck the Pirelli rubberworks in Milan, in both cases for higher wages.

Today, only a handful of blacks have broken into the locals...
...build a brewery at Newport News, ten miles away from Williamsburg. He sought out his old friend Win Rockefeller and assured him that the brewery would in no way dilute Williamsburg's colonial flavor. Rockefeller agreed, and said that he would not mind a bit if the plant were even closer -say, on a 2,500-acre tract that the corporation owned within musket shot of the restored city. Soon after, Busch discovered that the soil at Newport News would not support a brewery, and he took Rockefeller up on his offer...
