...difficult to fathom: President Anwar Sadat must soon be able to show not only his own people but also more intractable Arab leaders that his strategy of trusting Kissinger and going the negotiating route can produce better results than a resumption of fighting. For its part, Israel would prefer an agreement to end the rash of truce violations that have claimed 14 dead and 60 wounded since the ceasefire. In one incident last week, three Israeli soldiers were killed when Syrian mortar shells hit their trench. On the Suez front on election day, there were 72 incidents involving mortar fire...
...control, issued forthright prescriptions: "Put your head in water at 128°-130° Fahrenheit. This will kill both nits and lice in three minutes. Or use a hair dryer so the heat is strong enough to cause a tingling of the scalp for five minutes." For victims who prefer not to cook their brains there are over-the-counter shampoos that may help and a highly effective prescription emulsion called Kwell. When classes resume, school nurses will examine the heads of all the pupils and allow only those with no lice or nits to reenter...
...enactment of Social Security legislation in 1935, conservatives have favored scrapping the system altogether.

The history of the U.S. consumer lends that view considerable merit ?but a continuing energy crisis could change the taste of many buyers who might otherwise prefer a larger car. The automakers are acting as if that might happen; they are converting to small-car production as fast as they can. GM last week temporarily closed 16 big-car assembly plants and laid off 137,000 workers; meanwhile it is expanding production of subcompact Vegas...
...education at Madison than they can at the decaying neighborhood school. White parents fight tooth and nail the entrance of more black kids into the school because they fear the fall of property values and they can't afford to exit the scene. And teachers at Madison, who would prefer to have the children of lawyers and doctors as their students, children who don't cut class, don't etch "fuck" on the desks, don't shoot-up in bathrooms, throw up their hands and cry to administrators, "If we can't perform our role as teachers, at least protect...
