...President-elect, contemplating both foreign and domestic affairs and the shape of his Administration, Nixon is enjoying the exertion of power without the pressure of urgent responsibility. "He's not under the gun," says one aide, "not in his own mind. He's going to be damned sure it's put together right, and with the right people." The announcement of Cabinet officers was due this week, but Nixon was not rushing matters. He was not even in a hurry to nominate a new Chief Justice, although he has frequently criticized the Supreme Court's decisions...
Believing as he does that too little federal money has been put into scientific research in recent years, Dr. Lee A. Du-Bridge, 67, is sure to be popular among his professional colleagues. Named last week as Science Adviser to the Nixon Administration, the articulate president of the California Institute of Technology will need all the teaching and administrative experience he has gained at five universities.

To the Israelis, the raiders are terrorists and thugs, inept and indiscriminate in their missions. To the Arabs, they are freedom fighters in the best guerrilla tradition, skilled in the arts of the commando and the saboteur. The world knows them best as the fedayeen, meaning "men of sacrifice," a disparate group of clandestine plotters often at odds with one another, who play a large part in keeping the Middle East...
...complex world of the Middle East, no one can ever be sure whose set of claims is true. El Fatah has publicly taken credit for blasting the garage of former Israeli Chief of Staff Itzhak Rabin, even though he has no garage, and for wounding Defense Minister Moshe Dayan last March, who was actually hurt in an archeological cave-in. After Israel's independence day parade last May, El Fatah crowed that "a suicide force managed to reach the rear of the parade and shell it with rockets and mortars. Our forces destroyed a number of tanks that were...
