Differences in Arab Israeli conflict from 1967 war
Bruce Biossat notes key shifts from the 1967 crisis. The USSR and China back Egypt and Syria, but the risk of a major power war is lower. The United States faces a delicate balance between ceasing fire pressures and Israel’s survival, amid Arab oil leverage and growing regional arms capabilities. He warns of broader economic strains and petroleum supply concerns if conflict widens.

Texans Question Prosecutors and Defense Attorneys
A statewide Texas survey finds the public views prosecutors as overly focused on wins and politics, while defense attorneys are seen as defending guilty clients. Only 73 percent rate prosecutors’ performance and 60 percent rate court-appointed defenders. Younger and more educated Texans criticize prosecutors more, with ethnic differences noted. The public wants stronger focus on sex offenses and gambling, less on marijuana, and defenders praised for handling emotional issues. Next: attitudes toward probation, parole, and correctional officers.

Arab unity and realism shape Middle East power shift
U S analysts say Egyptian competence and Sadat’s army reorganization garner respect for Soviet training and Arab steadiness. Despite potential Israeli victory or invasion, Arabs show restraint on oil, scale back anti U S rhetoric, and pursue greater political and economic cooperation. This unity aims to sustain influence even against an Egyptian defeat.
