Nancy left this morning for Phoenix. I wont see her til Wed. at the ranch. I’m lonesome already. I even watched an Errol Flynn movie—“Robin Hood” this afternoon. Bud called—the Israelis took out targets (air attacks) on Beirut—Damascus road. One was a choke point which could shut off Syrian supplys & ammo to the guerillas. One plane shot down but pilot parachuted & was recovered. I have no complaints with this. Rumor also going around that Assad (Pres. Syria) is dead. No confirmation.
