...settling occupied territories is a diplomatic blunder, reinforcing Arab claims that Israel is bent on expansion and likely to bring on irresistible popular demands for war. Israel has reacted angrily to U.S. pressures to return most of the occupied territories. Any additional attempt to impose a settlement would pose several risks for President-elect Nixon-who last week sent former Pennsylvania Governor William Scranton on a tour of the Middle East to sound positions on both sides. Among those risks: the wrath of the U.S. Jewish community and other pro-Israeli sympathizers. Yet, asks Washington, what is the alternative...
...there are many in the Middle East who believe that the fedayeen pose the greatest long-run threat not to Israel but rather to Hussein and Nasser. In Jordan, the fedayeen in a recent showdown with the King won the right to run their own military show without interference from the Jordanian army (TIME, Nov. 22). So great is the popular groundswell for the movement that no Arab leader dares condemn it or openly talk peace on any terms that Israel might be likely to accept. Israel has not helped by its policy of holding each Arab government responsible...
Cooper's abdication is all the more disastrous because rapid changes of character are the essence of the play; for they parody the mechanics of melodrama while they suggest often-embarrassing affinities between a figure's old pose and his new one.

Tourists roaming the hilltop house read with interest the titles of the books the owner kept in his bathroom, view the bullfight posters that dot the walls, pose for pictures beside his typewriter. Then they line up to sign the guest book, usually in Russian, Polish, Bulgarian, even Vietnamese. The house, a museum maintained by Cuba's National Council of Culture, was Ernest Hemingway's retreat just outside Havana. Of the nearly 18,000 yearly visitors who tramp through, over 70% are Russian. "The Russians have a great respect for Papa," said the caretaker, former Hemingway Servant Rene...
Take Marcus Pendleton, the hero. He is, to be brutal about it, a fat slob. As Ustinov plays him, he slobbers, mumbles, stutters and swaggers. He is the kind of man who seems to have dandruff on his teeth. While the plot calls for Pendleton to pose as a computer expert and hitch up with an IBM-type operation to embezzle it out of millions, you know as soon as you see him that he'll be caught in the act. As a result, the fun is not in his attempted theft, but in what he does during his spare...
