...deliberate speed" was the famous phrase used in the Supreme Court's Brown v. Board of Education decision, commanding integration of the nation's public schools. The response in much of the South has been all deliberate resistance: 1,534 local districts in the Old Confederacy and Border States are still classified as segregated. Now the Supreme Court has run out of patience. Last week in Holmes v. Alexander-the first major judgment since Chief Justice Warren Burger joined the bench-the court unanimously ruled that the deliberate-speed formula "is no longer constitutionally permissible." The brusque, unsigned...
...guerrillas grow stronger or bolder: Where, and in what numbers, should the fedayeen be allowed to operate in their "war to the death" against Israel? Jordan's King Hussein confronted the guerrillas over the issue and ultimately backed down, giving them virtually a free hand in his border areas. Two weeks ago, the issue brought violence to Lebanon when the army cracked down on the fedayeen for having moved into populated areas supposedly barred to them under an earlier agreement...
...Arafat's flourishing forces in Lebanon can reach the border of Israel, with or without Lebanese accommodation, they will cause trouble for everyone concerned. Last week they provoked argument anew between the U.S. and Russia.

Along the Jordanian border, kibbutzniks lined up a few at a time to avoid attracting shellfire; they dropped their ballots into bullet-and shell-proofed steel boxes. In Jerusalem, Arabs (who account for 150,000 of Israel's 1,750,000 voters) and Jews mingled without incident at polling places. All told, 83% of the eligible voters cast ballots...
Plainly, the speech signaled a lower profile for the U.S. south of the border and a determination to require Latin American nations to assume from this point on a more active role in guiding their own development. Did it also signal a U.S. desire to disengage? Said a high Administration spokesman: "the answer is no-not disengagement, but re-engagement." Nor would the new policy imply economic isolation, he added. "What it does mean is that we would like to dispel the myth that the U.S. is the instant messiah for miracles." The question remains whether Nixon's proposed...
