...anything be done to stop this vast and insane flow of weapons? Only a few attempts at arms control have succeeded. The Antarctic is a "weapons-free zone," and NATO and Japan for the past quarter-century have voluntarily refrained from exporting strategic goods to Communist-bloc nations. The U.S. imposes elaborate restrictions on the sale of the shoulder-fired Redeye anti aircraft missile because it could be disastrous if the easy-to-use weapon fell into the hands of terrorists, who could then fire it at civilian airliners...
...clue to what the movie was meant to accomplish. Jaeckin's premise and perhaps the only guiding principle of the film, is that there is a large, well-heeled audience out there that loves pornography, is too fastidious to seek out the crass version in the Combat Zone, and will pay through the teeth to have it served up with a veneer of class. For this reason Emmanuelle isn't just a skin flick, but has been made into a film with towering pretensions to philosophical and artistic merit. These conceits make the film ridiculous where it might otherwise have...
...Mitla Pass, cabled Schecter, is no narrow cowboy-and-Indian ambush site. It stretches for 15 miles between granite outcroppings, the quickest route into the Sinai from the canal. With the low ground beneath him and the demilitarized zone nine miles in front of him, General Jacob ("Jacke") Evan, 40, made his pitch, stressing the importance of controlling the high ground and maintaining an effective "electronic alert." Evan, deputy commander of Israel's southern front and an armored expert who fought at Mitla Pass in '67, declined to explain what he meant by the term, but Israeli radar...
...most visible evidence of the new fortifications system is a 13-story observation tower, almost identical to a tower built by the Egyptians on their side of the demilitarized zone. Israeli soldiers man the crow's-nest continually, logging every movement on the other side. The Israelis estimate that the Egyptians have built enough bunkers for a force of five to seven infantry divisions, which could be transported across the canal within six hours, along with fire-control centers and launching sites on the east bank of the canal. In addition, there are at least 250 artillery pits...
There was no violence, but the Greek-Cypriot sense of betrayal could hardly have been deeper. Earlier in the week Archbishop Makarios, the prelate President of the constitutional Cyprus government, had approved a plan that would have created a "substantial" Turkish zone in northern Cyprus-a major concession-and would have allowed permanent settlement of Turkish refugees in the north. Glafkos Clerides, negotiator for the Greek Cypriots, insisted that major areas now under Turkish occupation must be restored to Greek control in order that some of the Greek refugees might be resettled...
