...difficulties surrounding this year's LSATs, however, clouded by the obfuscations of ETS spokesmen, may not be quite so insignificant or so innocuous. Between the July and the October testings last year, ETS introduced substantial changes in the LSATs. As a result, about three times as many law school applicants as in the past received perfect 800 scores, while about twice as many scored in the 750 range. ETS neglected to mention the changes to law schools until this past winter, when a number of law schools jointly asked ETS about the unusually high scores. As a result, some...
...RIBICOFF. Jewish himself and long a key supporter of Israel, the Connecticut Democrat took a surprising early stand in favor of the plane deal. He publicly assailed the Jewish lobby as "self-appointed spokesmen ... who do a great disservice to the U.S., to Israel and to the Jewish community," and privately criticized AIPAC'S director, Amitay, who was once his assistant.

If its tires have drawn a large number of complaints, say company spokesmen, it is simply because Firestone has sold more radials than its competitors. Malcolm Lovell, chairman of the Tire Industry Safety Council, a producers' group, contends that the problem is that too many Americans let their radials become underinflated...
...operation that was roundly condemned by the Jewish leadership. Throughout Israel's history, the few individual soldiers who have taken upon themselves to attack Arab civilians have been court martialed and imprisoned by the Israeli government. Compare this Zionist position to the praise of PLO, Syrian, and Saudi Arabian spokesmen for the recent PLO terrorist rampage on the Israeli coast, and to the cavalier attitude toward Palestinian lives which is symbolized by the PLO's placement of terrorist military bases in the midst of civilian population centers, a policy ensuring civilian casualties in any attack on PLO military targets...
