Last year Israel received $3 billion of emergency and regular aid, and a substantial sum for Israel has been in every budget for the last 15 years. Similarly, we had allocated a certain amount for Egypt prior to the agreement. Aid levels were never discussed with Egypt during the agreement. We set the levels unilaterally after the agreement was completed. Aid to Israel and Egypt reflects our own interests; it is not a payment for the agreement...
...Minister of Justice Patrick Cooney: "Such demands have to be resisted. The best protection against such kidnaping is to let the people who carry them out ascertain that they are quite futile exercises." Nonetheless, a Dutch representative of Herrema's firm was ready to pay an undisclosed sum as ransom and fly the kidnapers out of Ireland.

Thus a bumper might at first be worth 10; but an entirely different bumper...
...money will be made elsewhere, and it will be needed. For his 15 rounds-or less-in the ring, Frazier has been guaranteed $2 million. Ali will, of course, do better. His contract with Impresario Don King, the bout's promoter, calls for more than twice that sum. If the fight sells well at closed-circuit television outlets in the States, both fighters could double their take...
