...latest mission, like that of a similar Mossad raid in Beirut two years ago, was to seek out and destroy Palestinians known to be connected with recurring fedayeen attacks on Israelis. Two teams of six people each were chosen for the mission: a killer team and a spotter team to pick out their targets. The killers went first, leaving Israel around 8:30 on the night of June 11. It was an ideal time: the moon had set early and the sky was black. The six-five men and a young woman-assembled at an airfield in northern Israel...
...great service by writing about his work intelligently and with passion, but he did not "tell" Pollock how to paint. (That dubious privilege would be reserved for weaker artists in the '60s, who wanted to attach themselves to Greenberg's by then mythical aura as a trend spotter.) In any case, Wolfe is inept at dealing with thought, and his account of Steinberg's and Greenberg's criticism is utterly garbled. He cannot treat their writings as argument, only as manipulation. He seems not to have read them, only read about them. He imagines, for instance...
Around the world last week, ships of the Soviet navy were under full steam. Off the Azores, NATO spotter planes reported one of the 10,000-ton Kara-class two-year-old missile cruisers that Western naval experts rate among the world's best modern warships. In the Mediterranean, where the U.S. Sixth Fleet customarily roams while Soviet vessels lie in Syrian and North African ports-except for a few "tattletale" scouts dogging American carriers-the roles were reversed.

For a time, the only ARVN communication with the outside world was provided by an FAC spotter plane circling overhead. Trapped in the city were nine Americans, official U.S. Consular Representative Paul A. Struharik and eight missionaries...
...searching the roadside bush. Behind them were three trucks with more soldiers and heavy weapons pointed outward in all directions. Griggs found Centenary, which is just 100 miles from Salisbury, a virtual armed camp, with soldiers always carrying their weapons at the ready. A nearby airstrip is used by spotter planes that constantly patrol the bush. Farmers drive only by day, and their dinner guests invariably sleep over; the night belongs to the guerrillas...
