...West Bank's economy, some 25 Israeli bank branches have opened in the area, and last week the Israeli pound was made legal tender along with the Jordanian dinar. The Jeru salem government has virtually adopted the former Jordanian budget for the West Bank, including development plans for road building and other public works totaling $5,600,000 this year. All former local officials, including all the West Bank mayors and most city employees, have stayed on their jobs under Israeli rule. Wherever possible, Israel is keeping Jordanian law and custom intact. Thus schoolchildren will get their books free...
...order generation which still remembers the ghettos and prison camps of Europe is quickly being displaced by a new breed-- the "Sabras." Sabra is a particularly apt description of the native Israeli because literally translated it means "fruit of the cactus"-- tough on the outside but tender on the inside. The Sabras are not as worried about world opinion as their fathers were; they have recognized (and rightly so) that their country can not depend on allies for its defense. Their experience has taught them the Machiavellian maxim that guarantees mean very little when the cannons speak. They are building...
...British comedy The Family Way (TIME, July 14). Playing a young newlywed, she gives an affecting portrayal through a difficult and delicate metamorphosis of moods. She is vulnerable as the courted virgin, bemused and forgiving at her raucous wedding reception, exquisitely graceful in a kitchen bathtub scene, and ineffably tender when her husband proves temporarily impotent.

Even with 100% margins, which exchange officials insist are generally effective in curbing speculative trading, some of the 26 issues continued to gain last week. Scurry Rainbow Oil rose $9.50 to $43 on rumors of an ore find and reports (later denied) of a tender offer for the company. National Equipment Rental gained $3.13 to $32.50, and LTV Electrosystems, a separately traded subsidiary of the Big Board's Ling-Temco-Vought, jumped...
...epic is not the easiest assignment in operatic composing, but by concentrating on the love story of Prince Andrei and Natasha, and Kuturov's defeat of Napoleon, Prokofiev has done a surprisingly effective job. Instead of beginning with a big party scene, he shrewdly chooses a tender picture of longing and rebirth when Andrei hears Natasha and Sonya on their balcony. The composer has written the girls a soprano duet that recalls Strauss's lyricism. Here and elsewhere, the voices of Radmilla Vasovic Bokacevic and Biserka Cvejic are nicely matched. Among the male singers, Dusan Popovic as Andrei...
