Salute to the Tube. To learn how to avoid Viet Cong booby traps and needle-pointed poisoned bamboo punji stakes, infantrymen will be shown eight hours of video tapes on Viet Nam. In a lesson on military courtesv, recruits watch a televised salute and then salute the screen while they are checked by their own sergeant. Altogether, the Army has assembled more than 2,000 TV tapes on such wide-ranging subjects as how to bandage wounds, drive correctly and repair radios. Unlike old training films, which cost three times the $500 budgeted to crank out a minute of televised...
...Pure. Most of Jerusalem's 60,000 Arabs shut down their shops and went home in protest against the parade. Some watched the parade on TV behind shuttered windows; others, excited by the blare of loudspeakers and the roar of jets, came out on their balconies to watch. Radio Amman charged Israel with buying 20,000 Arab kaffiyehs (headdresses) beforehand with the aim of having dark-complexioned Israelis wear them in the streets and thus making it look as if Jerusalem's Arabs were joining the celebration. The few Arabs who did mingle in the crowds, however, seemed...

...many by so few real facts-or by such edited and contrived film footage. We are shown the brave defenders amidst their showcase rubble and under their manhole covers; Hanoi's almost tranquil orderliness contrasted with the confusion of corrupt Saigon; and with presumably straight faces we watch the military traffic flow south to fight the American aggressors, having only admiration for the resiliency and cleverness of the North Vietnamese as they thwart our attempts to prevent their takeover of the South. A natural sympathy for a beleaguered people becomes perverse when so distorted, and especially so when...
...hold its biggest military pageant. Almost half a million Jews from all parts of the country will descend upon Jerusalem, arriving in some 25,000 cars and 1,000 buses-a quarter of all such vehicles registered in Israel. Lining the streets or packed into bleachers, they will watch 4,000 uniformed Israelis wend their way through both the old and the new city. Jets will fly overhead, Centurion tanks will rumble past the ancient walls and 66 pieces of captured Arab armor will be displayed. Inaugurating its nationwide TV system, the Israelis will beam the spectacle to Cairo, Amman...
