...brawling. Under the rules, a cleanly landed jab counts as much as a knockdown blow; in three 3-min. rounds, the objective is to be effectively aggressive, not lethal. Despite a strong third round, U.S. Middleweight Virgil Hill, 20, lost a split decision in the finals to Joon-Sup Shin because the South Korean had outpointed him in earlier rounds. On the judge's part, it takes surgical concentration to count the blows and apportion their weight. Spectators conditioned by the blood sport of the pros often forgot that...

Explosives were discovered near by. Following a two-month investigation by Shin Bet, Israel's internal security force, three men were arrested.

Members of the Shin Bet, Israel's internal security service, arrested seven U.S. citizens and subsequently detained four of them on suspicion of complicity in the attack on the Palestinian laborers. The four detainees were later identified as active members of the ultra-nationalist Kach movement, led by Meir Kahane, founder of the U.S.-based Jewish Defense League. In another...
