Jordan. Reassured by the arrival of 800 British reinforcements, King Hussein, under heavy guard, began to move about more freely, helicoptered to the Jordanian sector of Jerusalem where he told a Jordanian army audience "we shall never allow troublemakers, Communist lackeys and atheists to succeed in undermining this nation." But the arrests of pro-Nasser suspects continued with monotonous regularity: 27 Jordanians were standing trial for smuggling in guns and munitions from Syria, and several of them seemed certain to be publicly hanged; 20 others were swept up by the police as members of a gang of terrorists and bomb...
...Iraqi regime "at least, for the time being." It was Murphy's unpleasant duty to inform Hussein of two hard facts: 1) no U.S. troops will be sent to Jordan; 2) U.S. recognition of Iraq was already decided upon. Then Murphy bid his host goodbye, drove off to Jerusalem and passed through the Mandelbaum Gate into Israel...
...David Ben-Gurion broke his silence last week to warn that Israel would listen to what a U.N. summit conference might say about Middle East problems but would not be bound by U.N. summit decisions adopted without its participation.

Among Arab leaders, Iraq's late Nuri asSaid probably led all the rest in the bitterness of his public excoriations of Israel.

...Jerusalem shall be trodden down . . . until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled" (Luke 21:24). Russell decided the "times" began when Nebuchadnezzar overthrew Jerusalem (in 586 B.C. according to historians, in October 607 B.C. according to Russell). Since Israel was to suffer "seven times" for its sins (Leviticus 26:18), Russell had to measure the length of a "time." Revelation, he reasoned, calls 1,260 days 3½ "times," so he doubled that to make seven "times" equal 2,520 days. Discouraging result: 600 B.C. Later he found Jehovah saying (Ezekiel 4:6): "I have appointed thee each...
