In Washington, a Pentagon rumor joked that Defense Secretary McNamara sent a cable to Dayan offering expert help to establish a cost effectiveness program for Israel.

Russell Kirk notes paradoxes of Israel’s 1967 victory. Israel, a small new state, fielded a premier fighting force while Arab states suffered. Jordan resisted war yet felt its losses. Syria and others failed to profit. U Thant and UN forces faced criticism, and US attitudes shifted. The piece offers reflections on diplomacy, power, and near eastern policymaking.
Henry J. Taylor argues that Israel’s victory shifts regional power away from Soviet influence, weakening Arab unity and highlighting strategic crossroads from the Mediterranean to the Indian Ocean. He compares this to a broader shift including a reduced Red threat in the Caribbean and Latin America.
