...Vacationland. Bonn's staunch support of Israel in the Six-Day War of 1967 helped transform public attitudes and stimulate the sale of German consumer goods. "We are a pragmatic people," explains a senior Israeli trade official. "We cannot spit in their faces forever." The breakthrough can be traced to several years before the Middle East war, when it was revealed that Germany had been secretly supplying Israel with millions of dollars worth of arms. With much embarrassment, Bonn stopped these shipments rather than face political reprisals by Arab nations, particularly their implied threats to recognize East Germany...
Among more than one hundred prelates in the papal household, Monsignor Giovanni Musante, 53, was one of the elite. A staunch theological conservative, he had worked loyally for more than a decade in the vicariate of Rome, which governs the Pope's own diocese, and was a member of the Vatican's litur gical commission; a year ago, on the occasion of his 25th anniversary to the priesthood, Musante was given a title reserved for the privileged few: chaplain to the Pope. Last week the Vatican reluctantly admitted that Monsignor Mu sante had gone...
...favorite of the party establishment, and Defense Minister Moshe Dayan, 53, whose immense popularity with the grass roots is not shared by the party brass. Something of a lone wolf, Dayan is not one either to seek or accept advice, and is considered unpredictable and undisciplined by the staunch conservatives of the Labor Party machine.

Harriman, a staunch Democrat, had not expected to be asked by Nixon to stay beyond Jan. 20. His deputy, former Under Secretary of Defense Cyrus Vance, will remain in Paris for a month or so to brief Lodge and the No. 2 man, New York Attorney Lawrence E. Walsh, a longtime associate of William Rogers. The delicate business of detecting minuscule wiggles in Hanoi's line, often signaled by a change in the tense of a single verb, will fall to two eminently competent professionals. They are Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Philip Habib, who was Lodge...
...University by Dr. Joseph C. Muhler and Dr. George Stookey, the prophylactic paste embodies more than 20 times the fluoride concentration of toothpastes now on drug-store shelves. The sweet-tasting paste polishes teeth as well. Dr. Muhler, who developed Crest, the first patented stannous-fluoride toothpaste, is a staunch supporter of fluoridating water supplies. But such efforts are not enough, he maintains. Only 155 million of 200 million persons in the U.S. are served by treatable public water supplies. Of them, only 82 million now drink water containing natural or supplemented fluoride. Muhler compounded his new paste to provide...
