RELENTLESSLY, almost at will, Communist North Vietnamese and Pathet Lao troops advanced last week against Laotian government forces. As they swept forward, concern mounted among U.S. officials. On Capitol Hill, critics of the U.S. involvement in Southeast Asia protested that Washington seemed to be plunging deeper into Laos just as it was pulling back from Viet Nam-though of course the U.S. commitment in Viet Nam is incomparably larger.

What alarmed U.S. officials was the possibility that this time the Communist forces might not be satisfied with the usual gains. In the past, the war has had a special, almost ritualistic quality, with Communist and government forces swapping occupancy of the Plain of Jars and refraining from probing deeper into territory generally conceded to the foe.

As the barrages continued and Israeli casualties mounted, Premier Golda Meir's government began responding by land, sea and air. Israeli commandos probed deeper and deeper into Egypt in sorties of ever-increasing boldness. In dogfights with less skillful Egyptian pilots, the Israelis scored a devastating 10-1 kill ratio. Assured of complete mastery of the skies, they carried the war ever closer to Cairo. Last week not a single Egyptian jet scrambled to challenge...
