...NEARLY-deserted auditorium, nearly 1300 or so plastic and steel chairs quiver in erratic rows. Two women from Chicago, both in their early twenties, sit in the rear row. "The conference doesn't look dominated by anyone so far," says one. She is shocked by the people in South Boston. "But you just can't look at these people like monsters--they're regular human beings." Her companion, a college student, believes. "The only way to stop the stoning is to show them that we won't put up with that stuff. Students by themselves can change the situation...
...three years went to Robert Mardian, once a top aide to Mitchell at both the Justice Department and the Nixon 1972 re-election committee. Tight-lipped but known to be seething about the fact that he had been linked in trial with the top three, Mardian bolted through a rear door when the session ended.

He offers us his jack...
...Israeli government has spent $60 million on the Sinai defenses since the end of the October war. Entire battalions of armor have been buried in laagers-scooped-out shelters covered with camouflage nets. It is startling, as Israeli troops run through practice drills, to see an M48 suddenly rear into view, moving from laager to firing platform or swiveling its 105-mm. gun as it goes churning across the dunes. The mountains, meanwhile, have been honeycombed with miniforts and electronic snooping stations...
