But Washington held off for fear that the plane sales would spawn a new outburst of anti-American violence and could lead to new fighting in Jordan between the fedayeen and King Hussein's army. Nonetheless, this week, before his Sunday departure on a twelve-day tour of the Far East, Secretary of State Rogers is expected to announce that Washington has reviewed the request in the light of shifting factors and has now decided to accede to at least...

I figured that a picture like this-having no love interest, a strong and unsubtle anti-American point of view, and no humor of any kind-would be death at the box office outside of the two coasts' metropolitan areas. That has proven not to be the case, for the public, it turns out, is ready to buy popular culture about suicide. Isn't it encouraging...
