Beirut is also beautiful, with cool groves of umbrella pines and great clusters of purple bougainvillaea. It is rich, not from oil but from oil revenues of more than $3 billion a year, poured in by sheiks from Kuwait and Saudi Arabia; they flock to Beirut to play among a people who speak their language and understand their needs. Moreover, 92 banks flourish on deposits from Arabs who are distrustful of their own governments and appreciate the Swiss-like secrecy enforced by law. Recently, Intra Bank of Lebanon bought the 28-story Canada House on Manhattan's Fifth Avenue...

Kelly's Law states that if you bring your umbrella to work, it won't rain. It also decrees that if a Democratic Sen ator breaks his back in western Massachusetts, he will wind up with a Republican town committeewoman for a day nurse. To be sure, it made for some stimulating discussion at Northampton's Cooley Dickinson Hospital, but Teddy Kennedy, 32, failed to shake Mrs. Esther Madden on either the merits of Barry Goldwater or the demerits of the civil rights law before he was strapped onto a stretcher and driven 100 miles to Boston...
