Ironically, he owes much of his new popularity to the fact that he has established friendlier relations with his old adversary, Gamal Abdel Nasser, who remains the hero of Arab nationalism, even if the enthusiasm of Jordanians for direct union with Egypt has waned. The border between Syria and Jordan, closed for weeks by Nasser's United Arab Republic, was ordered reopened by Cairo, and last week Hussein announced: "Diplomatic relations with the U.A.R. will be resumed." The recent disorders in neighboring Iraq have also...
