...morality and death -that have become almost unmentionable. Nineteenth century gentlewomen whose daughters had "limbs" instead of suggestive "legs" did not find it necessary to call their maids "housekeepers," nor did they bridle at referring to "upper" or "lower" classes within society. Rightly or wrongly, the Victorian could talk without embarrassment about "sin," a word that today few but clerics use with frequency or ease.

To avenge an El Al passenger's murder by terrorists in Athens, Israel destroyed 13 aircraft in Beirut. It has annexed all of Jerusalem. For the first time since the Biblical epoch, Jews have become military occupiers of other people's land (see box, page...
