THE AUTHOR BEGINS BY TRACING TERRORISM FROM 1944 WITH ZIONIST TERRORIST ATTACKS ON THE BRITISH IN PALESTINE, AGITATING FOR THE CREATION OF THE ISRAELI STATE. HE THEN POINTS OUT EXAMPLES OF LEFT-WING TERRORISM AND THE PROBLEM THAT HAS CAUSED. THE DISTINGUISHING CHARACTERISTIC OF THE NEW WAVE OF TERRORISM, ACCORDING TO THE AUTHOR, IS ITS TRANSNATIONAL ASPECT. NEW TECHNOLOGY HAS PROVIDED TERRORISTS WITH YET ANOTHER HANDLE IN THEIR ACTIONS--JET TRAVEL, MINIATURIZATION, AND WEAPONRY. THE PAPER TRACES AID TO TERRORISTS TO THE SOVIET UNION AND SUGGESTS THAT GET TOUGH MEASURES WITH THE KREMLIN CAN HELP TO CURB THE PROBLEM....BDS
