...back room of a stucco house in the hills of Amman, a grave young Palestinian university student squatted on the floor and told eleven friends that he had just joined a guerrilla unit to fight the Israelis. "Any age, any size, either sex," he said. "It makes no difference. They are on my land, and I shall kill them." In his shell shattered villa overlooking the River Jordan, Citrus Grower Raouf Halabi, 50, a graduate of Beirut's American University, reported proudly that his riverfront groves have become a nightly jumping-off place for raiding parties into Israel...
...good artists in Paris, but there are exciting ones in America-what you call new blood," Mourlot has opened a shop in Manhattan's Greenwich Village. Heading the U.S. operation is Fernand's son, Jacques Mourlot, 34. The new Atelier Mourlot, set up in a renovated 1830 stucco building, is equipped with 60 of Mourlot's 20-and 30-year-old stones, three small hand proof presses, three large electric flatbed presses and three skilled French printers, each trained from adolescence in the Paris shop...
...poll watchers, women wearing green and white dresses with the words "Louise Day Hicks" embroidered on the bodice, phoned in returns from the city's 275 voting stations, the cockiness at the Boston City Club, a garish stucco Park Square "nitespot," grew stronger and more comfortable.

It was their night. Mrs. Hicks came in first...

Ringo, who never practices drums between Beatle performances, has made his place the group's unofficial clubhouse; on the spacious grounds are a treehouse and an old air-raid shelter, and indoors an elaborate bar named The Flying...
...south of Suez, as a buffer against Egypt and an air route to the 14 tourist hotels at Elath. Syrian land, too, is largely deserted-abandoned by some 80,000 inhabitants who fled the Israeli advance. Gaza, however, constitutes a monumental nightmare, with its 330,000 Palestinian refugees in stucco and mud-hut camps, plus an impoverished civilian population of 100,000. And though the West Bank of the Jordan, now in Israeli hands, was the jewel of the Jordanian economy, its roughly 1,000,000 people scratched out an existence five times more meager than the Israeli standard...
