Terrifying Reminder. Few courses are, in fact, open to the Arabs short of all-out war-and most military analysts believe that the Israelis would win decisively again. But guerrilla action is one potent tactic available to the Arabs. At week's end, George Habash, leader of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, vowed that his guerrillas would attack Jewish property everywhere-U.S. holdings as well, because of Washington's support of Israel. A few hours later, the front claimed that its members were responsible for hijacking a TWA jetliner, bound from Rome...

To further isolate the prosecutor, defense lawyers win a motion to have his principal investigator, Detective Joseph Price, removed from the courtroom on the pretext that they might call him as a witness.

Blind Faith's version of the old Buddy Holly tune, Well All Right, skips along with a blithe country feeling, and Clapton...

Boyle was nominated by 1,056 locals. Yablonski plans to push for democratization of what he calls "the most notoriously dictatorial labor union in America." In three detailed complaints filed with the Labor Department, Yablonski has accused the union of "flagrant" and "continuous" violations of federal laws that are intended to assure democratic process in union elections. Among the charges: fraud, trickery, bribery, embezzlement...
