Lebanese Premier Rashid Karami said the attacks "demonstrated Israel's perplexity after the victories scored by Syria and the P.L.O. at the U.N." P.L.O. Spokesman Abu Sharar also attributed the strikes to Israeli "desperation" over the Palestinians' diplomatic success. Criticism came from less predictable sources as well. Pope Paul VI, in a message of condolence cabled to the Lebanese government, called the raids "an inadmissible gesture of violence...
...British rock quartet, unsettled by internal squabbles and individual efforts at solo LPs and films, pulled together for some properly granitic music making this time. Though there is no formal story line, the album is nonetheless slyly conceptual. Townshend's nine songs, plus John Entwistle's Success Story, evoke a rock star's fight against time.

BONNIE RAITT: HOME PLATE (Warner Bros.; $6.98). Raitt fans patiently wait for Bonnie to make a record equal to the promise of her talent. Home Plate is close, yet still off base.

Indeed, some revisionist historians have insisted that U.S. officials used the bomb against Japan primarily-if not solely-to impress their military might upon Russia. But Sherwin disputes this interpretation, despite his conviction that both Roosevelt...
Will and Ariel Durant seem to be a permanent natural resource. They have produced eleven bestselling history books in 40 years, spanning the birth of man and following his progress right up till the French Revolution. The Durantian success derives from a unique digest of research, humor, intimate anecdotage and headlong energy. But the once inexhaustible Will, now 90, and his wife Ariel, at 77, have announced that this is their valedictory volume...
