Should Washington and Jerusalem negotiate a treaty that would formally guarantee Israel's survival in case of war? Writing in the current issue of Foreign Affairs, Richard Ullman, a professor of international affairs at Princeton and a former member of the National Security Council under Lyndon Johnson, answers yes. His reasoning: "The risks of a war have been substantially increased" by such recent developments as the recognition of the P.L.O. "as a leading formal actor" in Middle East affairs and the shift in the economic balance of power away from Israel toward the Arabs...
...treaty-so Ullman's argument goes-would be an "absolutely unambiguous American commitment" and should make the Israelis feel secure enough to return most of the Arab territory they have occupied since the 1967 war. Moreover, there would be much less risk that the Arabs would underestimate the U.S. commitment to Israel. Some political experts stress that in a diplomatic situation as difficult as that in the Middle East now, a treaty might be useful. "The only effective and tested form of guarantee is an alliance," declared Oxford Professor Alastair Buchan in last year's Reith Lectures...
...time the two start their new affair, Marianne's own string of affairs as a single and then as a remarried woman has dried out her tears, and this more confident Marianne at the end of the film is convincing enough in terms of the emotion.

Her marriage by the conventions didn't work, and her new life is new convention based on socially certified licentiousness. Formed from the same society that...
...first leaves Marianne the passions are too strong for what's happening. The screenplay seems just good enough to make small, slippery claims on the audience's emotion; of course, it does much more. Partly, this happens because of the unusual rapport between Bergman and his actors, particularly Liv Ullman. It seems as if her emotions would be moving even if grounded in nothing at all. Sven Nykvist's photography, that normally adds so much to the metaphysical quality of Bergman's moods, is simplified in this film for the small TV screen. The TV close-ups bring the film...
...celebrated blowup with the "Argentine Firecracker" by comfortably winning reelection, Mills' grip on his committee has been seriously slipping. There is talk within the Democratic caucus of clipping the committee's jurisdiction or even easing Mills out as chairman. Next in line is Oregon's Al Ullman, a hard-working liberal, popular with his colleagues. Also likely to assume heavy responsibilities in the next House is New Jersey's Peter Rodino, whose performance as chairman of the Judiciary Committee's impeachment hearings contributed to his lopsided reelection...
