Arik's Complaint. The opening salvo in this war was fired by Major General Ariel ("Arik") Sharon, 45, who was called out of retirement to lead the successful Israeli thrust across the Suez Canal that helped trap Egypt's Third Army. In interviews with reporters from the New York Times and Los Angeles Times that were filed from Rome to skirt the tough Israeli censors, Sharon charged that his superiors were not prepared for the war. The General amplified his accusations in yet another in- -terview with American University Professor Amos Perlmutter: "The Southern Command collapsed completely...

By last week the advance sale of reserved seats for the New York run alone totaled nearly...
...salvo was fired in the form of an open letter to the President. Announcing a formal break with Thieu-a somewhat superfluous gesture since the two have been coolly ignoring one another for months-Ky blasted the President for miring the country in a "war with no end" and "preferring the flatteries of sycophants to honest counsel." But Ky's main complaint was that Thieu had "an excessive attachment to power" and was already working to put the elections in his pocket by "silencing the opposition and muzzling the press...
