That compound was put together in a brief burst of home-buying just before Christmas. Nixon first purchased a three-bedroom, three-bath house for $127,700, then bought an adjoining dwelling for a similar price from Senator George Smathers to create a three-house enclave. (Smathers, who introduced Nixon to Rebozo in the late '40s, says that he "didn't want to sell it but I wanted Nixon to come here, and it was a case of having to sell it or else he wouldn't have come...
...forces needed, the cost, and the necessity of flexibility. Certainly nothing but a draft could have supplied the 2,800,000 doughboys of World War I or the 10 million G.I.s of World War II, and the Pentagon's estimate of its current needs runs to similar magnitudes: 3,454,160 of the present moment, and 2,700,000 when peace returns.

Israel's Ambassador to the United Nations, Yosef Tekoah, termed the censure proof of "the moral, political and juridical bankruptcy of the Council regarding the Middle East situation." Tekoah continued, making a justifiable point that most Israelis felt summed up their case: "Is the single...
...Russians, the realists have started a campaign to take that post away from Smrkovský. The workers, including the 900,000 members of the metalworkers' union, have pledged to go out on strike if Smrkovský is not given the job-and thousands of students have made similar vows. The issue of the appointment will not be decided for another week or so, but Smrkovský's ouster just might fan the smoldering embers of discontent in Czechoslovakia into a blaze...
