From Mexico on south, the Communist Party has always broken down into splinter groups, but divisions have recently sharpened more than ever. Russia is pushing trade and cultural exchange on one side, while on the other Castro is stressing violent revolution. Venezuela's Moscow-lining Communist Party broke completely with Cuba four months ago, protesting Castro's stepped-up aggression. Last week the Organization of American States accused Castro of sending four armed Cuban regulars to the coast of Venezuela last May, the first overt and deliberate military invasion of one Latin American country by another since...
With his hard-currency debt (not counting arrears to the Soviet bloc) now approaching $1.5 billion and his foreign-exchange reserves down to $100 million, Nasser is going to have a tough time dodging bankruptcy. To make up for lost trade with the West, he is negotiating new trade and loan agreements with his Arab fellow socialists, the Communists, and sympathetic non-aligned nations like India. Last week Poland gave him a $20 million loan for industrial development, and East Germany announced $100 million more credits. But the strain will continue as long as Nasser insists upon keeping Egypt...
Jerusalem-the name means "foundation of Salem" (an ancient Semitic deity)-has a superb setting. Situated in the Judean Hills nearly 2,500 feet above sea level and protected on three sides by steep valleys, it was a natural site for a fortress adjacent to trade routes between the Mediterranean and cities to the east. There was a plentiful water supply from a spring that still flows out of the Kidron valley, just below the southeast edge of the present city. Archaeological evidence suggests that Jerusalem was settled around 3000 B.C. by Bronze Age Canaanite tribesmen. According to Genesis...
...hours. Says Frank Sinatra, whom Kelly directed in On the Town: "The guy just never heard of exhaustion." But he has heard about charm, and he can crack the whip without stinging the ego. When he teamed up with Jackie Gleason to film Gigot in 1961, the trade waited expectantly for the Great One to unload his celebrated wrath on the demanding director. Instead, Kelly had Gleason puffing up and down a flight of stairs like a trained St. Bernard and Jackie begrudgingly tacked a reminder on his dressing-room door: GENE KELLY is RIGHT...
Then you look at Boston's pitching, and you wonder how the team has gone so far with so little. Jim Lonborg, it is true, has been phenomenal, and is the winningest pitcher in the majors. Gary Bell, who was acquired from Cleveland in a trade, has won six games for the Sox, but it is highly doubtful that he will keep it up. The other starters--Lee Stange, Gary Waslewski, and Darrell Brandon--run the gamut from mediocre to awful...
