Jordan's reprisal was to kill three Israeli Druze watchmen at an oil camp in the eastern Negev desert, not far from where Jordanians had ambushed a busload of Israelis last month. Next night a powerful Israeli army force-some 1,000 troops according to Jordan sources-slammed twelve miles across the desert frontier into Jordan and, supported by artillery and bombing planes, wiped out a police post at Gharandal, almost midway between the Dead Sea and the Red Sea.

His twelve special agents have all served on police forces, must take courses in law and psychology before earning their deputy's badge from the sheriff. Though they turn some cases (e.g., truancy and dope peddling) over to other authorities, their own quarry includes every one from the little boy who steals ice cream to the crackpot who might threaten to shoot the superintendent...
