...clamped down on his own family. Army Colonel Max Dominique, military commander of Port-au-Prince and the hus band of Duvalier's 26-year-old daughter, was sent packing off to Madrid as Haiti's Ambassador to Spain. As Dominique's plane taxied down the strip, Duvalier's private Gestapo or Tonton Macoutes (Creole for bogeymen), jumped Dominique's two bodyguards and chauffeur, then hustled the three men off to jail. Last month Duvalier dismissed Dominique from the army "for the good of the service," and ordered his son-in-law to return...
While the crowd waited, the Viet namese air force C-47 carrying the can didates put down on the nearby air strip at Dong Ha. If the flight had ended in a spectacular crash, it could hardly have earned more headlines from Saigon to Washington. The candidates were outraged to find no reception committee, no hoopla, no autos. Misin formed about their plans, the province chief was waiting for them at another airstrip.

On Sept. 1, some 100,000 Gaza schoolchildren will enroll in schools administered by Israel. Used as Nasserite indoctrination centers in the past, the schools will be supplied with some of the 300,000 Arab-language textbooks newly printed by the Israelis at a cost of $1,600,000. Missing...
...June 5 the Israelis moved into the Gaza Strip (20 miles long by 5 miles wide) with the same classic pincer tactics that the Germans had used so effectively against the Russians in the Second World War. With the Palestinian Liberation Army effectively cut off from Egyptian reen-forcements, the Israelis were able to capture Gaza City before the morning of the 6th. About three quarters of the PLA is composed of Palestinian refugees who live in incredibly compact refugee camps around Gaza City. With a little work by the Egyptians, many of the 215,000 refuges could have been...
