...Israelis in general seem to be moving from their fathers' ideals toward a more matter-of-fact Israeli patriotism, with the solid goal of making a place for their country among the other Semitic states of the Middle East.

General Dayan has been stumping the country this month urging that it is now more important to develop industry and irrigation than...

Lest Ramfis lose himself in remorse, kindly Uncle Héctor Trujillo, figurehead President of the Dominican Republic, provided a nice nongraduation present: appointment...
...supposed to have preserved archives of the Warsaw ghetto. In 1939 Ringelblum was safe in Switzerland, but he went back home to Warsaw to share the fate of his fellow Jews, and to record the manner of their end. Ringelblum and his friends recruited a kind of intelligence staff who, with fantastic dedication, took time off from the task of survival to write notes on what they saw and suffered...
