...critics of Missouri and the other dominant journalism schools, e.g., Northwestern, Illinois, Wisconsin. Minnesota, argue that the liberal arts major is more suited to the long haul of newspapering than the J-school man: his background is broader, better preparing him to cope with assignments from atomics to Zionism. Instead of taking journalism courses, says Managing Editor Al Friendly of the Washington Post and Times Herald, "a boy would be better off reading Carlyle or studying the pigmentation of butterfly wings...
...hills; intrigue and chicanery fill the halls of the United Nations and the chancelleries of Europe; the innocent and the defenseless suffer and die more often than the clashing soldiery. The battle scenes are well and cleanly done, but too often the author's flag-waving enthusiasm for Zionism diminishes rather than exalts the achievement of the Israelis, particularly when Uris pictures the Arabs either as witless dupes or as "the dregs of humanity, thieves, murderers, highway robbers, dope runners and white slavers...

...time Russia was a supporter of Zionism, if only as a stick with which to beat British "colonialism" in Palestine. The Israeli forces could hardly have defeated the Arab armies in the Palestine war without the arms which Soviet-satellite Czechoslovakia sold them. Moscow and Washington tumbled over each other to be the first to recognize the new state the day it proclaimed itself a nation (the U.S. won), and the telegram of congratulations that Israel's Premier Ben-Gurion later sent Stalin on his 70th birthday remains one of the least attractive passages in Israel's diplomacy...
