...Suez the only scene of action. The Israelis carried out raids deep in Egypt and against terrorist camps along the borders of Jordan and Lebanon. Arab guerrillas lofted Soviet-made Katyusha rockets into Israeli kibbutzim, or crept across the borders to plant mines and blow up pipelines. The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine proved particularly nettlesome. Three weeks ago, the P.F.L.P. hijacked a TWA jetliner with 113 aboard and forced it down in Damascus; two Jewish passengers are still being held by the Syrians. Last week several of the Front's teen-aged "cub commandos" tossed hand grenades...

The Plaid Cymru demands autonomy for Wales, believing that Wales gets back too little from London compared to what it contributes in taxes and productivity. Culturally, it seeks to preserve and expand the ancient Welsh...
...nationalism, is as quiet as it has been in years, most likely because of growing prosperity. On the West Bank, cultivated acreage has increased sharply. Yet resentment smolders on, occasionally erupting into violence, as it did last week when seven Arabs and four Israelis were killed in rocketings and terrorist incidents. "Don't get the idea that they are beginning to love us," says one Israeli official. "They hate us as much as ever...
