...correspondents know their way around as well as Richard Beebe Dudman. Resourceful without being reckless, in 20 years on the St. Louis Post-Dispatch he has learned to operate with equal ease in Cuba or Washington, the Middle East or London, Viet Nam or Paris. But no newsman can be at ease on assignment in Cambodia...

Said Jerusalem: "The Soviet decision to dispatch what are to all intents and purposes regular units of the Soviet air force against Israel is without precedent and parallel." Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser could hardly be expected to see it that way. At a May Day rally near Cairo, he ridiculed the Israeli charges of Soviet involvement as "a great comedy." Declared Nasser: "The Soviet Union is not helping us launch aggression. It is helping us liberate our occupied...
