Just 100 yds. away, Secretary of State George Shultz was in his office, talking by phone to Israeli Prime Minister Shimon Peres about the hostage crisis. After the killings, security was tightened, including some searches of attache cases. Still, unsettled officials admitted that lapses can always occur. Said one: "We have to function. Are we going to search 10,000 people a day? I don't think you can ensure that a tragic incident like this will never happen...

They could also rejoice that a possible "major disaster," as Prime Minister Shimon Peres put it, had not disrupted the festivities. Peres was referring to the Israeli navy's earlier sinking of a freighter that both Israeli officials and the Palestine Liberation Organization confirmed had carried P.L.O. commandos.
