...same violent tableau was repeated the next three nights. "One minute it's a mob," said Police Commissioner Frank Felicetta. "Next, it splits into eight gangs heading eight different ways." Yet Felicetta refused to call "it" a riot. "Rampage," he said, "is a better word." The toll: 78 injured, more than 200 arrested, at least $100,000 damage...
Brief as it was, the Middle East war took a heavy toll in Arab lives (22,000) and Arab real estate (30,000 sq. mi.). But the impact of those losses was small compared with the crippling economic aftermath of defeat. Last week, from one end of the Arab world to the other, government radios wove into their continuing threats and recriminations warnings of the "sacrifices" and "hard times" that lie ahead as the Arabs pick up the pieces...
Current trends seem to be hastening the demise of these communities. The Inner Belt, for example, will take a heavy toll in some areas. It will also have a big impact on low-income families: preliminary figures from the Cambridge Planning oBard show that 58 per cent of the families in the path of the highway earn under $6000 a year while about half of the single persons living along the route have an annual income of less than $3000.

In money terms, Israel estimated that the war cost it only $100 million, against $2 billion for the Arabs. The Israelis captured several times their own outlay's worth...
...seemed impervious to the battering and strain of more than seven months alone at sea, but the elements had obviously taken their toll. Less than a week after his triumphant arrival home, Britain's Circumnavigator Sir Francis Chichester, 65, was hurried to Plymouth's Royal Naval Hospital with a hemorrhage of an unsuspected duodenal ulcer. With Sir Francis berthed for as long as a month, this week's two superceremonies-his formal knighting by the Queen with Sir Francis Drake's sword, and his pandemonious reception by the City of London-have been postponed until...
