Although a sonic boom can shatter windows miles below a jet, the Anglo-French partners maintain that tests have shown that their Concorde will not cause "danger to life, health or property." Even so, during the first two test hops last week, the roar of the plane's engines could be heard miles away. If its flights have to be rerouted to avoid populous areas or its engines throttled back to lower noise levels, Concorde's already precarious ability to fly the Atlantic will dwindle dangerously, and its attraction to airlines that travel mostly over land will...
...first time since the Six-Day War, Israeli jets attacked in Syria. More than a dozen planes bombed and strafed two fedayeen camps, one of them on the outskirts of Damascus. As usual, the roar of rockets was followed by a war of words; the Israelis claimed that as many as 80 fedayeen were killed and two Syrian MIG-17s shot down. The Syrians claimed to have downed three Israeli jets, and the fedayeen claimed that the attack had wounded only two guerrillas, while killing five civilians in a nearby washing-machine plant (the Syrians reported 15 dead...

Predictably, it raised a roar of political and editorial protest, especially so since De Gaulle has sold a dozen Mirage 3s to Lebanon and is dickering to sell 54 more to Iraq. Every major non-Communist paper in France denounced the ban on arms to Israel. In reply, De Gaulle harshly raised, through Information Minister Joël Le Theule, an old European phobia...
...through life. Lighthearted on the boulevard, gay in the cafe, a good shot at the shoot. A flower delivered each morning to the door for the buttonhole. Put a smile on the face. Keep the collar worn loose at the throat. Move the bowel in the morning like the roar of a lion. Hum a lullaby while you pee. If you want to wear the toupee, which I do not suggest, always carry two. One for the white wine and one for the red. And when you drink the brandy you must of course be completely bald...
