...cute and facile. The time spent in Meah Shearim, the Jerusalem quarter of the ultra-orthodox, and in anti-Zionist Naturei Carta, was overlong and boring, chiefly because it had no point, despite the implied connection with a voice-over talking about the anti-godliness of early Zionism. And all the little shots of Tel Aviv and Jerusalem which so delighted me must have been a crashing bore for those in the audience who had never visited Israel. The photography as a whole was lousy, poorly edited and badly lacking in basic elements of composition. Visually a washout...
...tragedy." A U.S. Navy task force has just completed a minesweeping operation to reopen the Suez Canal, closed since the 1967 war. Syria, still tied to the Russians by arms and economic aid, not long ago was denouncing the U.S. as its archenemy and an agent of Zionism.

This did not represent an endorsement of his position...
...only individual who can make that claim. And this is the way Vrba wants it. His past, though always with him, is a private matter. So for that matter are all his opinions on the subject. He is not anxious to cultivate sympathy or win converts to anti-Zionism. His goal is quite simple: to be allowed to continue his work as a scientist, to be allowed to continue to survive...
