Among Africa's first known tribal groups were the artistically talented Bushmen, who scratched out their lively rock drawings of hunters and wild animals in the Stone Age. Some 7,000 years ago, the Hamites came across the Suez, bringing a rudimentary knowledge of agriculture, and soon they intermarried with Bushmen and early Negroes to produce new races. Over the continent's vast distance, these groups scattered into the polyglot tribes that fractionalize Africa today. Each went its own way. Some tribes raised empires based on hereditary rulers. In other tribal cultures, outstanding men or women and sometimes even children...
That does not seem likely, since ASEAN has grown in importance over the last year for all five of its member nations. Both the British decision to withdraw its forces east of Suez and the Paris peace talks have sharply altered Asian horizons. "Ultimately," as Ramos put it, "we have got to rely on our own resources and energies to protect our lives and our fortunes." ASEAN clearly could evolve into one means to that common...

In a litany of violence, they tick off wars and disorders in Palestine, Malaya, the big conflict in Korea, Quemoy-Matsu, Algeria, Hungary, Suez, South Arabia, Cyprus, Colombia, Cuba, Venezuela, the Dominican Republic, the Congo, Angola, Indonesia, the Philippines, Laos, Viet Nam, and the third violent clash between Israel and the Arabs...

Counting on the Neighbors. In addition to its pipeline project, Egypt had originally intended to widen and deepen the Suez Canal-which could previously accommodate fully laden tankers no bigger than 70,000 tons-to handle those in the 200,000-ton range. But many of the new supertankers are 250, 000 tons or more. Moreover, if and when the canal opens, the oil producers would probably find it cheaper to pipe oil to the Mediterranean than to sail through Suez and pay its heavy tolls. Using a pipeline would result in even more savings compared with the cost...
