...five days to return to Egypt. Jerusalem Bureau Chief Dean Fischer, who only a week earlier had flown from Israel to Washington with Premier Begin on his sudden trip, quickly hopped a plane back to Jerusalem in order to cover Begin's return. Fischer thus lost a traveling companion, Photographer David Rubinger. Besides shooting the trip for TIME, Rubinger, an Israeli citizen, had been chosen by Begin to be his official photographer during the U.S. visit, so it behooved him to remain with the Premier...

When a mullah and his armed companion attempted to disarm several youths near the Shahyad monument in Tehran, the mullah was shot to death. Some leftist guerrillas even attacked mosques, a sacrilegious act that would have been unthinkable a few days earlier...

There is a hitch, however. Under tough companion legislation passed in 1950 by the state government of Nordrhein-Westfalen, Rheinbraun is required to reimburse the displaced residents for the property they have lost and to restore the exploited lands to a reasonable approximation of their original state. In the Triangle, this has meant shifting thousands of acres of fertile soil, constructing networks of drainage pipes to pump out millions of gallons of water from the damp lignite, replanting and landscaping great tracts and helping resettle the people...
