...P.L.O. Only last month Sadat and other Arab leaders agreed that the P.L.O., rather than Hussein, should be sole spokesman for Palestinians on the West Bank (which was annexed by Hussein's grandfather King Abdullah in 1950 and held by Jordan until Israel seized it during the Six-Day...
...arms supplies for Israel. Not only will the U.S. provide $550 million worth of equipment this year, but it may also supply as much as $1.5 billion a year through 1979. That would be about five times as much as Israel bought in 1967-the year of the Six-Day War-and much of the cost will have to be underwritten by the U.S. Congress.

There was also a nice number in the Super-Sol in Jerusalem, although I would like to point out that the Supermarket on Ibn Gvirol in Tel Aviv would have made the point about Israel's plastic culture after the Six-Day War much more tellingly. The obligatory Bedouin shots (you can almost hear the travelogue voice-over "And here these strange people of the desert...") had some nice colors too. And the last long sequence of a shell-shocked Israeli soldier re-enacting his trauma was a powerful statement...
