...those that actually do occur. Yet some how, one of Ambler's losers, worrying about how to get through a grubby border station and about the things that will happen to him if he does not succeed, generates more uneasiness in the reader than any of the new terrorist melodramas. Is the problem that guerrilla theater is bad art, too charged with bombast to seem real, even when real people are dying? Like Western heads of state, thriller writers do not seem to know what to make - money aside - of the Arabs. In nearly all these books, Arabs tend...
...directly threatened not by external aggression but by "indigenous rebel forces" that get "arms, funds and supplies" from outside. Marcos was referring to two movements. One is the 2,000-member Maoist New People's Army, which may be receiving weapons and ammunition from Peking for its terrorist activities in the hill country of southern Luzon.

In the wake of a right-wing coup March 11, allegedly led by Spinola, it seemed that the people's hopes that swelled last year were imperiled. For a time, elections were delayed and the High Council...
...jointly demanding that the P.L.O. be seated instead of Jordan. The Soviets will automatically go along with such a resolution, but Washington cannot. Kissinger's stated position has long been that the U.S. will not talk to Arafat or the P.L.O. until the Palestinian guerrilla groups end terrorist acts and demonstrate responsibility. That attitude is likely to weaken U.S. relations with moderate Arabs at Geneva, and will generate added recriminations against Israel for getting Washington into such...
