Town Without Trees. In the past decade, a million Arabs have huddled in camps in the Arab lands encircling Israel. They are, hostages to Arab governments' bitter reluctance to admit the existence of Israel or to prejudice the refugees' claim to what was once their homeland by the slightest gesture toward resettlement. And they are hostages also to the hard line of the Israeli government, which ingathers hundreds of thousands of Jews from all over the world but has no space to take back the Palestinian Arabs who once lived there (Israel at one time agreed to resettle...

Apparently, most other African labor officials feel the same way. Delegates representing Nigeria, the Belgian Congo, the French territories and many other parts of Africa voted overwhelmingly at Lagos to form...
Making the event seem as unremarkable as possible, Britain's Foreign Secretary Selwyn Lloyd announced to the House of Commons in his most toneless voice last week that "the governments of the United Arab Republic and the United Kingdom have agreed to re-establish diplomatic relations at the level of chargé d'affaires." Harried, tight-lipped Selwyn Lloyd is the last survivor in office of the luckless foursome of Eden, Lloyd, Mollet and Pineau, who together planned the ill-fated invasion of Suez...
