...reason for the uneven score may be what Israeli pilots proudly refer to as their "Soviet Squadron." The squadron includes three MIG-17s and one MIG-21. Two of the 17s were set down in Israel by blundering Syrian pilots. The third was shot down and repaired with parts from other downed MIG-17s. The faster MIG-21 was flown to Israel by an Iraqi pilot paid to defect by Israeli intelligence. Israeli pilots study and fly all four planes to learn their characteristics...

As he slips from one phase to the other, he is complemented...
Margaret Drabble is a presumably emancipated young Englishwoman in a presumably emancipated world. But her stories-at 30, she has written five brilliantly uneven novels-return atavistically to the primal theme. The difference is, society no longer really punishes the girls who dare to. They do the job themselves, wryly, with masochistic lashes of good old late-20th-century guilt...
