...Bagel One. On Tuesday evening he addressed a cheering crowd of 11,000, who had paid $2 each to hear him, in the Los Angeles Forum. As usual, he struck a historical theme: "After we suffered persecution, humiliation, discrimination, deportation, burning, drowning, ultimate physical destruction, we draw the only proper conclusion. We must fight for our liberty because if we do not, no one will give it to us." Once again he stated his conviction that a greater Israel is justified by the Bible and that the nation can never return to its pre-1967 borders. Nor would Israel ever...
...Brother Arthur. As soon as he saw me alone, my youngest brother, Arthur, greeted me with a solemn kiss on the cheek. I later learned that he had asked my mother if it would be proper for him to kiss me since I had been away. Even at that early age [Arthur was 7, Dick 12] he had acquired our family's reticence about open displays of affection. A short time after we returned to Whittier, Arthur complained of a headache.

Other critics, especially in the Southern delegations to Congress, have perceptively pointed out the serious problems of the army's low pay scales. As they attract mostly ghetto residents eager for a job at any price...
...investigation of itself was supervised by Callahan, Adams and another of Mohr's gambling buddies. After a two-month inquiry, the probers concluded that Mohr had done nothing wrong, the bureau's purchasing procedures were proper, and the games were just innocent social gatherings. Former Attorney General Edward H. Levi dismissed the findings as a whitewash and ordered the FBI to investigate again, under close Justice Department supervision. The second time around, the findings forced Kelley to discharge Callahan for misuse of FBI funds. Mohr, in retirement, was criticized, but Adams emerged unscathed...
