...sworn to destroy Israel seem to stand a far better chance of destroying some of the Arab countries that serve as their springboards of operation. Lebanon and Jordan, in particular, know that raids mounted from within their borders will bring harsh Israeli retaliation, but have proved too weak to crack down on their often uninvited guests. Last week an attempt by Lebanon's army to curb the fedayeen ("men of sacrifice") brought the country face-to-face with the specter of civil war.

Yale has done well, but most of the teams it has played have been relatively weak. Cornell might have given the Elis trouble, but Ed Marinaro was injured. On Saturday Yale finally meets a really tough team. "Dartmouth has a talented squad." Yale coach Carmen Cozza said earlier this week...

...rocks, and stage several scientific experiments. In addition to such familiar activities as measuring bombardment of the moon by solar particles and setting up another seismometer to detect lunar rumbling, the astronauts will leave behind three sophisticated instruments: 1) a magnetometer to take readings of the moon's weak, though detectable magnetic field that may tip off scientists to the moon's internal structure; 2) an ion detector capable of determining the nature of charged electrical particles near the lunar surface; 3) a cold cathode gauge to measure the density of the thin lunar atmosphere.
