...science adviser, notes that Sentinel is "untestable" under anything approaching simulated combat conditions. The warheads have been detonated in underground explosions, to be sure, and the missiles that carry them have been launched, but the 1963 nuclear Test-Ban Treaty prohibits nuclear explosions in space. Even without this veto, it would be fantastically difficult to stage a realistic war game featuring...

Israel rejected the U.N. censure as hopelessly one-sided, since Arab nations are regularly protected from similar blame by Soviet veto. Israel's Ambassador to the United Nations, Yosef Tekoah, termed the censure proof of "the moral, political and juridical bankruptcy of the Council regarding the Middle East situation." Tekoah continued, making a justifiable point that most Israelis felt summed up their case: "Is the single life of the Israeli engineer...
