Whether from lack of will or lack of support, Assad stopped short of a fullfledged coup. Atassi and Jadid, far from languishing under house arrest, showed up at a funeral for Intelligence Chief Abdel Karim al Jundi, who was reportedly so depressed after one leadership quarrel that he shot himself. The two men also appealed to Cairo and Algiers to send mediators to settle the dispute. They arrived last week and apparently had some effect. Both sides agreed to air their argument in an emergency party congress, which Baathist leaders insisted be held "in an atmosphere of complete freedom...
...Leonard Fein of Boston's Joint Center for Urban Studies believes that some Jews have responded to anti-Semitism in a slightly paranoic manner?although, he adds, "we come by our paranoia honestly." By and large, Negro moderates argue that Jews have overreacted. They contend that the Negroes' real quarrel is with the racism of white society as a whole. Thus in New York the Jew is singled out as a visible symbol of oppression; but in New Orleans, the black's natural "enemy" is the Italian bourgeoisie, which predominates among ghetto store owners, and in San Francisco...

Last week they burst into full public view in a transatlantic quarrel between U.S. Secretary of Defense Clark Clifford and South Viet Nam's Vice President Nguyen...
About the nature of the problem the two writers would have had, I think, little quarrel. But about the solution their views are crucially divergent. In Kafka there was simply none available, for the very qualities which render the dreaded state intolerable--its impressive size, structural inefficiency, and grotesque involution--also render it effectively invulnerable. Hasek, on the other hand, saw in these same qualities the faults which invite the wedge: nothing so ludicrous could really expect to survive. Hasek created the figure of Schweyk, the good soldier, whose will to survive encompasses his will to resist, and whose native...
