...will help bail them out of this crisis, they are likely to face another problem in the spring, when demand falls off. Even if OPEC agrees to tighter output quotas, many members may continue to flout those limits. "When we make a commitment, we must keep it," says Algerian Oil Minister Belkacem Nabi. "Those in OPEC who don't respect their promises have done us much harm...
...July, he had sufficiently rebuilt his authority within the P.L.O. to call a Palestine National Council meeting for Sept. 25 in Algiers. Assad, alarmed that Arafat might use the occasion to diminish the Syrian leader's influence in the P.L.O., flew to Algiers last month to pressure Algerian President Chadli Bendjedid into canceling the P.L.O. get-together.

Thanksgiving provided a break in the culinary monotony for U.S. troops, who dug into ham, sweet potatoes and 1,670 Ibs. of hot turkey airlifted in from Fort Bragg, N.C. The feast, which some troops washed down with pungent Algerian wine liberated from the Cubans, even had a trickle-down effect for 100 local schoolchildren: they received C rations donated by U.S. soldiers.
