...street mobs, neither Jordan's King Hussein, nor Saudi Arabia's King Saud nor Iraq's Premier Karim Kassem has proved willing to accept his leadership. The Sudan, Libya and Lebanon remain cautiously aloof, despite Nasser's best efforts. Though Nasser supported the Algerian rebels with arms and sanctuary, the current peace negotiations are the work of Tunisia's moderate President Bourguiba, with whom Nasser has long been at odds. Publicly, he is forced to approve Algerian peace talks. But if they succeed, Nasser might well find himself looking in from the outside...
...season last week. Colored lights were strung from public buildings, and some 13,000 tulips, pansies and violets were hastily planted in the town's public gardens. The gala preparations were meant not for sun-loving tourists, but for two delegations-one French, the other from the Algerian rebels-that are gathering in Evian in the hope of hammering out a peaceful settlement of the six-year-old Algerian...
Leading the French delegation will be Louis Joxe, 59, De Gaulle's Minister for Algerian Affairs.

And so long as Algeria remains unsettled, France cannot play the grand role De Gaulle envisions for it in international politics. The Arab world remains hostile, and the danger that...
...Ferhat Abbas in the F.L.N. as a counterpoise to the extremists. But his personal estimate of Abbas, a onetime druggist from the arid plateau country south of Bougie, is not high. "The pharmacist of Setif," he remarked, "would have made a barely passable Radical deputy-sort of an Algerian Queuille."* Executed Settlement. De Gaulle is moving cautiously toward an eventual face-to-face meeting with Ferhat Abbas. De Gaulle no longer demands a cease-fire before opening the talks, but no political discussion will be undertaken until shooting does in fact stop in Algeria. But guess is that both sides...
