Murder, Not War. The shelling was Israel's worst civilian catastrophe since the Six-Day War, and the nation responded with grief and anger. "This is murder, not war." protested an army doctor working on the victims. A group known as the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine-General Command, headed by Ahmed Jebreel, a 35-year-old former army officer, quickly claimed credit for the attack. The same group also boasted three months ago of engineering the mid-air explosion of an Israel-bound Swissair jet in which 47 died. Jebreel wired Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser...
...PEACE: I consider peace more important than territory. The area we had before the Six-Day War would be enough to take in all the Jews. For peace, I would be for giving back all the captured areas, with the exception of Jerusalem and the Golan Heights. We have plenty of space for another five or six million Jews [Israel's present Jewish pop. is 2,550,000]. I don't believe that all Jews will settle in Israel−unless the Messiah comes. But we do need another five or six million...
...three Syrian MIGs that had appeared eight hours after the attack began were shot down. (The Israelis also claimed to have shot down seven Egyptian planes during clashes over the Suez Canal for a week's total of ten Arab aircraft-one of the biggest bags since the Six-Day War.) At sea, meanwhile, Israel pursued the same tit-for-tat strategy that it applied in Lebanon. After an Egyptian naval missile sank an Israeli fishing trawler and killed two crewmen, Israeli jets sank an Egyptian destroyer and missile boat...
...investment in oil, U.S. companies have pumped $150 million into Iran in the past five years. The Shah wants much more outside investment. Last week, at his personal invitation, 32 chairmen, presidents and other high executives of some of the largest North American corporations arrived in Teheran for a six-day conference with Iranian officials to investigate further possibilities for bringing in private capital. It was probably the largest array of top U.S. businessmen ever to assemble in a developing country for an investment conference. The companies that they represented have combined annual sales of $36 billion, more than double...
...schedule of 14-hour work days, Cortright predicted that an explanation for the mysterious blast in Apollo's service module would soon be found-perhaps within three or four weeks. The investigators-including Astronaut Neil Armstrong, the first man on the moon -will be extremely busy. During the six-day voyage, Apollo 13 radioed back more than 7,000,000 feet of taped data, all of which will have to be carefully combed for clues to the mishap. In addition, the board will have to examine the films and still photographs brought back by the astronauts...
