...quit? Do we retreat? Do we go ahead to a victory? Do we descalate?" His answer to the last was negative. "If we do, I think that we throw away whatever leverage we have," he said. "I learned long ago that it is the hit dog that yelps. They are being hit. They are being hurt, and they are beginning to yelp...
Because the truth nettles far more men than it ever sets free, Too Far to Walk is not likely to be received with much enthusiasm on college campuses. Certainly Mersey's pitiless commentary on cant on the campus will miff many people, and both students and faculties will yelp over his satiric swipes at militant protestniks, world changers and plain and assorted knuckleheads. Obviously Hersey has tuned his fine ear to the contemporary campus (he finished the book shortly before his appointment as master of Yale's Pierson College).

Tactical Edge. Apart from an editorial yelp or two in Syria and Egypt, plus the predictable pro forma tongue-lashings for U.S. ambassadors in Arab capitals, the Arabs reacted to the announcement of U.S. sales to the Israelis with an aplomb that made it seem that they had known about the deal all along.

Without fail, fear or falter, they follow in one another's folksteps...
Austrians last week were wondering whether their lock would hold even long enough for a yelp for help. For nearly a month, the nation's two leading par ties had been locked in a noisy wrangle over defense spending, and in the midst of it, conservative Defense Minister Georg Prader was hard put to explain how he blew this year's entire arms budget on 36 Swiss Oerlikon antiair craft guns. That brought the self-righteous charge from a Socialist Party news paper that the price of one Oerlikon would pay for 125 new workers' apartments. More...
