Though Brown repeatedly urged Negroes to arm themselves, Kirk said afterward that he had not violated a two-week-old state law that imposes a two-year prison sentence for inciting a riot. Debate, said the Governor, "is our way of life. If Mr. Castro, who is only 90 miles away, comes to Florida, I'll debate with him." Asked if he thought Brown also was a Communist, Kirk borrowed one of Walter Reuther's old tag lines: "If it looks like a duck and walks like a duck, it must be a duck." Nevertheless, the Governor thought...
Dahlstrom, who admitted that he used marijuana, LSD and amphetamines, was not shy about discussing the crime-though his tale was scarcely coherent. Even before talking to his lawyer, he spilled out his story in prison to the San Francisco Examiner's Mary Crawford. He spoke of a bad LSD trip brought on by a dose that Carter had sold him. Later Dahlstrom told a reporter about what he called "the struggle": "He was convulsing as he went down. That's why I stabbed him some more -maybe a little too much. I hadn't had life...
...protest strike by Arabs brought commerce and transportation to a complete halt. Israel responded with a little psychological warfare, as policemen painted warning symbols on the shutters of shops belonging to striking Arabs, arrested two prominent Jordanians as the ringleaders and summarily sentenced them to three months in prison.

...order generation which still remembers the ghettos and prison camps of Europe is quickly being displaced by a new breed-- the "Sabras." Sabra is a particularly apt description of the native Israeli because literally translated it means "fruit of the cactus"-- tough on the outside but tender on the inside. The Sabras are not as worried about world opinion as their fathers were; they have recognized (and rightly so) that their country can not depend on allies for its defense. Their experience has taught them the Machiavellian maxim that guarantees mean very little when the cannons speak. They are building...
Athlit is a British-built prison camp which was used to house "illegal immigrants" before the Israelis had won their independence. Today the cam holds some 3000 prisoners from Gaza, Egypt, Jordan and Syria. The 200 wounded prisoners seemed to be receiving whatever aid was available from both Israeli and Egyptian surgeons. Five of the Israeli doctors had just come from Boston where they were being trained--one of them admitted that he was not accustomed to working under such "make-shift" conditions. Even the Egyptians with multiple wounds and covered with sun blisters had been well treated beyond their...
