...State of Shock. Poage graciously accepted his removal. "The caucus has worked its will," he said. "I accept its decision." Hebert, vowing to continue to battle "in the defense of this country" as leader of the Armed Services Committee, said he will carry his case to the House floor. "I'm using every means at my command to fight back," he declared. Any such move would be resented by the controlling Democrats, and Albert would probably rule it out of order. Patman assailed the secrecy of the voting, and Hays said that his initial rejection left...
...news sent shock waves through a Playboy regime already besieged by rumor, innuendo and investigation.

One Israeli machine gunner shot down so many Arabs that he fled in panic, obsessed by the idea of a pile of corpses blotting out the sun. Another soldier, unhurt...
Middle knowledge or not, surveys reported at the conference show strong national morale. In late November, following the triple shock of 43% devaluation, Arafat's United Nations speech and the Bet She'an massacre, the number of Israelis who felt confident that they could cope with the dangers they faced rose from...
