...back, and soon Prime Minister again, less and less was said of coming to terms with the Arabs. Following the new tough policy, Israel struck again and again. By this summer a new-pattern of incidents emerged on the Jordan border, with Israel answering the smallest incursions with large-scale reprisals. Most notable example: an attack on Kalkilya in which Israelis killed 48 Arabs in return for the murder of two Israelis. Israel claimed that over the years many more Israelis than Arabs had been killed in border incidents. But hatreds on both sides could not be measured or atoned...
...something of an American epic, running, as it does, for well over three hours and covering a quarter century in the life of the ranch- owning Benedict clan. On the surface, these people would seem to make admirabe characters for a modern epic because they live on a large scale. Their "ranch," a domain of 596,000 acres, is the setting of some huge social affairs--mostly weddings and funerals--and a number of magnificent fights, all staged by director George Stevens with an eye for grand effects.

Stevenson, by contrast, has responded to new situations with new ideas. During the campaign, he has symbolized his plea for a fresh approach with the question of discontinuing large-scale tests of nuclear weapons. Stevenson realizes that something is needed besides bigger and better weapons in today's world--something which will inspire people, instead of frighten and mutate them. He sees that a New America and a new world will emerge only from creative leadership. Specifically, in foreign affairs, Stevenson advisers like George Kennan, Chester Bowles, and Thomas Finletter grasp the problems involved in containment, neutralism, economic...
