...Peres, however, will have to start lining up support fairly soon; the party central committee gathers in the spring to nominate Labor's next standardbearer. By then, Rabin may well find himself on the defensive, blamed not only for Israel's 35% inflation and the mushrooming Yadlin scan dal but also for failing to involve party functionaries in his administration. Ultimately, there is a chance that neither Rabin nor Peres will emerge victorious. Their fratricidal rivalry could split the Labor Party so badly that it will lose popular support at the polls and the backing of some...
...Hindustan Times was clearly designed to catch the eye of marriage-minded Indian males: MATCH FOR TALL, CONVENT-EDUCATED, LEGALLY DIVORCED 27-YEAR-OLD GIRL DRAWING FOUR-FIGURE SALARY, FOREIGN FIRM. FATHER SENIOR OFFICIAL. FAMILY RESPECTABLE AND HIGHLY CONNECTED. If the "legally divorced" line discouraged bachelor readers, they could scan hundreds of other announcements in the Times's nine columns of "matrimonial" ads.

...Roman desire for circuses with lots of blood and sex, and if his death was such a senseless piece of violence--why all the fuss?

That remarkably good record can be attributed largely to improvement in air-traffic control. Until the mid-1960s, air-traffic controllers had to rely on old-fashioned radar to scan the skies and keep track of moving "blips" that represented individual aircraft. Now the controllers' vision has been increased enormously by improved radar and new electronic gadgetry. Every aircraft that flies above 18,000 ft. and in designated control areas carries a radar transponder that answers ground radar by flashing an identifying signal. The ground radar is assisted by banks of computers that display on the radar screen right...
