...Israel. As individuals or as a community, they certainly had every right to express their feelings about the French President's pro-Arab views. But is it sound tactics or proper behavior for any group of U.S. citizens to insult a visiting head of state? Many sober-minded Jews who are ordinarily strangers to picket lines would answer that their consciences demanded loud protest. In fact, compared with other recent demonstrations, these were small and extremely orderly. Booing Pompidou, of course, is only part of a larger question: at what point does the emotional pull of Jerusalem distort...

As the consumer becomes increasingly cost-conscious, a rising stress on value in auto advertising is almost a certainty...
National Scheme. Last year the victim turned into a hex for Dawson. An IRS investigation into Sober's financial affairs turned up information on Dawson, and soon a Department of Justice S strike force targeted on organized crime in Detroit became interested. The agents H were particularly curious about Dawson's telephone calls, many of which were charged to Sober's credit card. On the list of 1,900 calls were hundreds to horse owners, jockeys and trainers, some to bookies and mobsters, others to universities. Among them...
