...Gunpoint. Tshombe's kidnaping was a bizarre episode. He had flown from Madrid, where he lives in exile, to Palma on the island of Majorca for a few days' rest, accompanied by two security agents assigned by the Franco government to protect him. Next day a sleek executive Hawker Siddeley 125 touched down in Palma on a flight from Geneva. On board were four passengers, including two whom Tshombe already knew. One was a Frenchman named Francis Bodenan, whom he had become acquainted with a few weeks earlier, the other a Belgian named Marcel Hambursin. The remaining passengers...
Cairo's semiofficial newspaper Al Ahram had some extraordinary news for its readers last week. "The battle is still going on," it proclaimed. "Victory is ours." In Damascus, yellow sandbags were piled high around government buildings to protect them from attack, and signs on many walls promised: WE SHALL DESTROY THE ENEMY. The Arabs clamored for a change in the name of the American University in both Beirut and Cairo to Palestine University, and Algeria compiled a list of "pro-Zionist" movie stars-including Sophia Loren, Elizabeth Taylor and Harry Belafonte-and banned their films.

When it comes to risky occupations these days, the diplomat from Red China takes second place to no one.

The short though regular journey from mailbox to trash can is an acceptable burden, at least so far as the Constitution is concerned. And the bells at the door and on the telephone, though their ring is a more imperious nuisance than the mailman's tidings," constitute merely "peripheral assaults...
Under Miller's patient probing, any number of dread disorders may be identified. The anxiety syndrome and dominance frustration affect a dog who thinks that its master is too unmanly to protect the home; the animal feels that it must boss the household, and so attacks anybody who comes around. The secretary syndrome arises when the master works late at the office; the dog becomes tense and irritable because its master is not at home on time. In barrier frustration, the dog gets infuriated because it cannot break its lesh. Psychosexual misorientation is something esle...
