...triple billing of Foghat, Black Oak Arkansas and Montrose provides the ultimate in crotch rock and is the perfect complement to a bottle of Jack Daniels or Southern Comfort, depending on which part of the country you're from. Foghat sprang from the dissolution of one of the many Savoy Brown combos and added to their knowledge of blues a commercial touch in order to comply with the American audience's cry for boogie. Oak Arkansas, on the other hand, consists of five school chums, who owe their existence to the high school band from which they stole their first...
...early ones, such as Roseanna (1967) and The Man on the Balcony (1968), are about sex crimes against innocent people. In later books the victims are as villainous as the killer. In Murder at the Savoy (1971), a tycoon is shot during an after-dinner speech, his death mask etched in mashed potatoes. He turns out to have been a major white-collar crook with, among other things, a far-flung gunrunning empire. The eponymous Abominable Man is, of all things, a police superintendent. After someone slices the man in half with a bayonet, Beck compiles an appalling dossier...
...alternative - renewed war - is obviously much worse. There is a clear and present danger that some incident could trigger a war even before the talks begin. During the negotiations, in deference to the Kissinger shuttle, Israel did not retaliate against the Palestinian attack on Tel Aviv's Savoy Hotel last month (TIME, March 17) in which eleven Israelis were killed. A major raid on fedayeen hideouts in southern Lebanon could lead to larger trouble, especially now that the P.L.O. and the Syrians have agreed to form a unified military command. Many experts worry about what might happen...
...injustice to Kochava Levi, heroine of the Savoy Hotel attack, by reporting that she "slipped free herself when she was allowed to accompany one of the wounded from the hotel" [March 17]. She saved the life of the wounded man by dragging him out of the hotel, but then she went back to stay with the other hostages until the end. She said later that she could not save only herself when others were still in danger...
Significant Switch. Neither Kissinger nor the Israelis are willing to deal at this point with the P.L.O., particularly in the wake of the Fatah terrorist attack on Tel Aviv's Savoy Hotel two weeks ago (TIME, March 17). That raid, as P.L.O. spokesmen made clear, was designed to discredit the Secretary's peace-keeping mission. Last week Syrian President Hafez Assad tried to pull the Palestinians into the negotiations. Assad, who has switched significantly from opposing second-stage talks between Israel and Egypt to demanding a role in them for Syria, suddenly proposed a joint Syrian-Palestinian military...
