...COUSTEAU (ABC, 7:30-8:30 p.m.). First of a series of scientific-adventure specials filmed by Captain Cousteau under the world's major oceans during a five-year oceanographic expedition. For this week's feature, "Sharks," Cousteau's crew probes the Red Sea, Indian Ocean and Gulf of Aden, studying the fish and ways to protect downed flyers and shipwreck victims from them...
South Arabia consists of the port of Aden and 17 feudal satraps whose Bedouin tribesmen eat goat meat and carry everywhere their curved djambias (daggers).

London paid most government expenses. British troops generated 30% of the country's gross national product, the British free port brought tourist dollars into Aden, and the British Petroleum Co. built the Federation's only significant industry-an oil refinery...
...British departure is all but complete. The tax-free shops of Aden's Steamer Point, which once swarmed with cruise-ship tourists, are now boarded up and deserted.

All but 3,000 of the 12,000-man garrison have already been evacuated by ship and plane, most to British bases in Bahrain or Masqat and Oman; the rest will...

...federation's tiny sultanates, and his hard-eyed young nephew, Feisal. What outside support they have, if any, remains their secret. FLOSY, on the other hand, boasts a stable of well-known politicians and administrators, led by Abdul Qawee Mackawee, 48, onetime Chief Minister of Aden, and Abdullah Asnag, 32, former boss of Aden's powerful trades unions. For the past five months, FLOSY has operated a government in exile, complete with a full shadow Cabinet, a capital in the Yemeni city of Taiz, and operating headquarters in Cairo...
