Both raids were extremely embarrassing to Nasser in his self-appointed role as protector of the Arab world. But they failed to stop Arab terrorist operations, which by last month had risen to an average of four incidents a day. "The Syrians are not good pupils," said Israel's army chief of staff, Yitzhak Rabin. "They do not learn from their mistakes." Unless the terrorism stopped immediately, warned Premier Levi Eshkol at the beginning of last week, "we may have to adopt measures no less drastic than those of April...
...chairman is always selected from the Harvard Board of Overseers. Officially called the Overseers' Committee to Visit Harvard University Press, it is now headed by Judge Henry J. Friendly '23 of the U.S. Court of Appeals.

...lovemaking, repeatedly stroking his loins until two couples get the idea and engage in a "micro-orgy." This leads to Martian Summer, in which the Sun God, wearing a mask on the back of his head, is by sudden twists and turns a scowling accuser and a smiling protector. Most ludicrous are the earthlings, who in Terrestrial Autumn romp through a slapstick wedding scene that teeters on the brink of banality. After some sober reflections on descending night and death in Plutonian Winter, all elements conspire in a bright aurora borealis of a finale...
