NATURE PROVIDES an anti- septic background, snow-topped mountain sand the pristine blue Mediterranean Sea, for the rot and destruction of Lebanon, once the prettiest, liveliest and most modern nation in the Mid- dle East.j More than 9,000 persons have died, mostly in Beirut, in nine months of Christian- Moslem warfare. Thatis more than six times the number killed in Northern Ireland in four years., Murder and looting have re- placed trade and tourism. Bei- rut's great hotels are black with the fires of rocket blasts. At least a tenth of the 3 million Lebanese have fled the country, along with the large colony of Western businessmen. The econ- ony is in ruins, losses estimated at more than $5 billion. Thou- sands of homes have been loot- ed, thousands more destroyed. -Military government, with a coalition of Moslem and Chris- tian officers ruling in place of civilian politicians, bringing an end, at least temporarily, to parliamentary democracy.

The souk was destroyed dur- ing street fighting in October. "We went there after a while to carry out what was left and we didn't even find traces of burnt merchandise," said Afif. "This means everything was stolen even before it was burned.

Eight years earlier, the Uni- versity participated in 69 secret projects costing $12.4 million, he said.

This is the first time in at least three vears that a re- search proposal has been ques- tioned is being in violation of Provision' 3. Senior last night discussed the radar antenna system in a very radar antenna system in very general terms, asserting that the project "was not sinister." lHE SAID the system would be used to detect objects in space but differed from those presently employed because it would be more difficult for the enemy to detect. The electro- magnetic sensing field produc- ed by the system would be' much narrower and a mini- mum-sized antenna would be used. Zorn criticizes the proposal: in his memo because it "is em- phasized repeatedly that this work is highly focused on tac- tical radars."

THE WASHINGTON Post said the IRS now believes it can show Nixon had prior knowledge that the deed he used to claim a tax deduction was illegally backdated when he donated his personal papers to the govern- ment. -I The new audit of Nixon's re- DURING the final year of his presidency, Nixon promised to pay the $148,081, but the Post said sources indicated he has not done so. He could not be forced to pay the deficiency be- cause the three-year statute of limitations had expired.
