Mills, naturally, made no commitments; Nixon has yet to make concrete legislative requests. But in view of Mills' previous opposition to the concept of using tax breaks instead of direct spending for social purposes, the fact that he announced himself as now open to the idea was something of a triumph for the incoming Administration. Throughout the campaign Nixon had stressed his reliance on the private sector in coping with domestic problems as the principal difference between his approach and the Democrats'. Mills himself is no big spender. His insistence on economies as the price for enacting...
...this tense milieu that the Arabs' "men of sacrifice" operate, in a defiant effort to exploit its instabilities to their own ends. The fedayeen, who owe no fealty to any government, are responsible only to themselves, and view any settlement as a betrayal and a disaster. They possess the power to sting Israel into repeated reprisals, and perhaps to whip Arab popular opinion to such a pitch that not even Nasser with all his prestige might dare a settlement with Israel. In Jordan, their primary staging area, they constitute virtually a state-within-a-state and could probably topple...
There is no evidence of direct Russian aid to the fedayeen. Any aid they might want to offer can be funneled through the Arab governments.

Shining Interior. Astonishingly, he will not disintegrate, All the degradations, all the tortures will not make him confess to his "crimes." As the universal sufferer, Bates wears the exhausted eyes, the depleted physique, the rime of salt about the parched lips like indestructible medals. In Malamud's view and in Bates' playing, Bok becomes a second Job who grows from suffering to manhood. The fixer finally fixes himself, and, symbolically, all sufferers. Like the book, the film has no end, only a conclusion: there is no such thing as indifference; an abstention from humanity is a vote...
