...pocket knives. In Cincinnati, she related, cows are nonchalantly milked at the house door (a predecessor, no doubt, of the great American custom of home delivery), and pigs enjoy such citizenship that they wander at will, rooting in the street garbage and nuzzling pedestrians with their moist snouts. Americans seldom declined to provide a bounteous native rubery for the satirist to exercise his superciliousness upon: according to Henry Adams, Ulysses S.

American Jewish publications, reflecting Israeli opinion, were unimpressed by Carter's disavowal. Brooklyn's Jewish Press charged that Carter had sold out Israel for oil and described his action as a "stab in the back" to all of its readers. Reporting Carter's reversal, Saudi Arabia's state-controlled radio said acidly: "May God have mercy on his soul." The Kuwait daily...
