...scheduled to begin pumping by the end of 1974. Total deposits under the chill waters are estimated to be 12 billion bbl. of oil and 50 trillion cu. ft. of gas. That is rather small by Middle Eastern standards-the oil reserves would supply only two years of Mideast production-but large by almost any others. For example, the North Sea deposits probably exceed the 10 billion bbl. of oil estimated to lie under Alaska's North Slope...
Little concern is shown by Hanauer for the historical facts and actual behavior in the Mideast. Twenty-five years ago, two nations were created, one Jewish and one Arabic -- created with the expressed approval of the Arab leadership. Israel, then two small patches of land connected by an eight mile wide corridor, was immediately attacked by Arabs (armed by the retreating British). It is this attack which created the refugee problem; it is the irrational intransigence of the Arab leaders which held and still holds these refugees as political pawns. Israel, a nation barely one year old, offered then...
...second set of facts justifies in part the "oppression" of those Arabs now living in Israel (oppression so harsh that the standard of living of those Arabs who remained in Israel from 1948 is now among the highest of any group in the Mideast).

Patience and hard work are required to solve the problems of the Mideast -- qualities which Israel, certain elements notwithstanding, has always been willing to provide. But in the face of continued Palestinian demonstrations of "good faith" like Munich...
This week we take the first step in our second half-century by announcing a new edition, TIME Europe. While most of our readers will see no difference in their weekly copies, those in Europe, the Mideast and Africa will now have additional pages each week, to run at the beginning of their edition and devoted to news of special interest to the European community. The European pages will be produced by a separate staff, based in Paris and headed by our new European editor, Jesse L. Birnbaum. Birnbaum brings 22 years' experience to his new post, including stints...
Jerusalem has been recaptured by the Jews. Soviet power threatens the Mideast. Communist China is working on an H-bomb delivery system. Nine nations are now in the Common Market. To growing thousands of U.S. Christians, these political facts are portents of doom, part of a detailed scenario for the Apocalypse. While most Christians were concentrating last week on the First Coming-Jesus' nativity at Bethlehem-these believers were concerned with Christ's Second Coming at the end of time, which they are convinced is at hand...
