But long before dawn broke Wednesday, Hussein had sent loyal Bedouin troops with tanks into all the Palestinian strongkolds. Amman itself swarmed with blackened Bedouins in tanks and armored cars. Out came the demonstrators, mostly teen-age schoolboys, their teachers hustling them along like anxious sheep dogs.
