...brothers, came as a natural process. The agreement between us was signed long ago in your hearts, by you the people in this republic and in the Iraqi republic. And, brethren, Beirut will attain its victory with God's help, and Amman too, and so will Jerusalem and every fighting Arab city. The armed British aggression on Jordan shall be defeated, and the American armed aggression against Lebanon, but the free people of Jordan and Lebanon shall remain...
...Egyptian consul general in Jerusalem was deep in last year's plot to overthrow Jordan's King Hussein. Egyptian agents worked mightily, and unsuccessfully, to throw down Abdalla Khalil, doughty pro-Western Premier of the newly independent Sudan. Two years ago an Egyptian embassy "messenger" was convicted of trying to assassinate Iraqi leaders. Last year an Egyptian colonel named Ali Khashaba organized and financed a plot to kill Saudi Arabia's King Saud.

A black-robed figure stepped forward and answered: "Prejudice, hate and ignorance have struck." His hand outstretched, Father Carlos Cucchetti added: "I come to offer you my sympathy." Replied the Rabbi : "I shall never forget your kindness...
...Scientists. "Zionism," says a tutor at Jerusalem's handsome new Hebrew University, "is no longer a dynamic concept because it has done what it set out to do." Young Israelis in general seem to be moving from their fathers' ideals toward a more matter-of-fact Israeli patriotism, with the solid goal of making a place for their country among the other Semitic states of the Middle East. Many Sabras look for leadership to former Chief of Staff Moshe Dayan. 43, who recently left his army command to study history at the Hebrew University and is regarded...
