At Eshkol's last Cabinet meeting, the Israeli government decided on a new policy to deal with the fedayeen: "active self-defense." as Foreign Minister Abba Eban put it, or waging war directly on the commandos, without regard to their host countries. If that amounted to recognition of the commandos as an independent force, it also assured them of a more harrowing existence.

In England and elsewhere, low speech in fiction has been a commonplace convention for decades. Only a Frenchman...
This sort of news spreads like wild-fire in the music world and today the Tea Party has come to be established as one of the hottest places to play on the East Coast. All English and West Coast groups now regard Boston as a mandatory engagement, as much for aesthetic as financial reasons, since they do not make all that much money from an appearance at the Tea Party...
