...Delta flight, a pilot refused to obey the orders of a skyjacker who tried to take over the jet on its final landing approach to Miami International. No one has attempted to disarm a skyjacker. A single bullet fired through the fuselage of a pressurized airliner will not necessarily result in explosive decompression, but one shot in the instrument-packed cockpit could bring disaster even if none of the crew were...
...agriculture known from one end of the vast subcontinent to the other as "the green revolution." Within four years, despite its approximately 540 million population, which is increasing at the rate of 13 million a year, India expects to achieve self-sufficiency in food production. That prospect is the result of a combination of ambitious' innovations: extensively used new high-yield strains of rice and wheat, chemical fertilizers and advanced irrigation techniques.

As a result, an ominous current of anti-Semitism has appeared to widen the breach between them and the Jew. While this ancient virus infects only a small fraction of the country's 22 million Negroes, the Jew knows from bitter experience that it can spread with distressing rapidity. At the same time, some latent anti-black feelings have come to the fore among Jews?symbolized by the half-casual, half-contemptuous Yiddish reference to the "schvartzes" (blacks...
