...students will directly investigate the unique environment of the 160-acre island, a setting that includes salt marshes, forests, meadows, coves, orchards, beaches and clay cliffs. After some initial classroom instruction from the Thomson teachers, the group will go out to study the environment together, in projects ranging from soil surveys and vegetation transects, to wildlife observation...

Says one Israeli official: "If he tries to pressure us, there will be a battle royal, and it will be fought on American soil. I'm not sure we won't win." If the Israelis felt deserted by their only ally, they might conceivably launch a last-ditch Middle East war in order to cripple their Arab enemies-even though their antagonists cannot be forever subdued militarily, and there is always...
