...marred image. Junta officials have threatened some European nations with trade reprisals if they voted against Greece. Even so, at week's end as many as eight nations were in favor of suspending Greece from participation in the Council until the colonels either step down or reform. But two crucial votes (those of West Germany and Ireland) were still uncommitted, and it was uncertain whether the suspension motion would carry...

The following day, Major Nissim Ashkenazi, a top combat pilot shot down over Egypt in August, and Captain Giora...
Most of the new papers lack manpower and money. Relatively few moderate and conservative students seem willing to invest the time necessary to publish a college newspaper; and most college towns provide scarcely enough advertising to support one student paper, let alone two. Moreover, some of the conservative publications are as invective-filled as any radical paper. For example, Ergo, one of M.I.T.'s new publications, recently called the school's antiwar-research demonstrators "neo-Nazis" and "syndicalist swine." Still, the new opposition press is getting results. Says Crimson President James Fallows: "It's unhealthy...
