...blowup of the conflict between Syria and Jordan is still an extremely remote possibility. Far more worrisome would be the revival of hostilities at another Middle Eastern battleground, the Suez Canal. Last week Editor Hassanein Heikal wrote in Cairo's authoritative Al Ahram that Egypt's President Anwar Sadat had given Washington until early this week to produce diplomatic results with the Israelis. Did that mean Egypt would resume its "war of attrition" if decisive results were not forthcoming, particularly concerning an Israeli pullback from the canal's east bank? Not likely, given Israel's continuing...
...find ways to reach an interim settlement leading to the reopening of the Suez Canal, thereby helping to ease Egypt's humiliation over the continued occupation of its territory by Israeli forces. The way for Sisco's trip was paved by an assurance given by Egyptian President Anwar Sadat to Don Bergus, the senior U.S. diplomat in Cairo, that Egypt was still interested in achieving an interim settlement-providing it led to an eventual Israeli pullback from all Arab territory-and was still amenable to having the U.S. serve as a mediator...
...lands to Communist ideology, as distinct from Soviet aid (TIME, Aug. 9). Egypt, for example, relies almost totally on Moscow for military equipment, including some sophisticated Soviet aircraft-a handful of MIG-235 and about 20 SU-11s the hottest planes in the Russian air force.

Coolly, Numeiry said he would have been delighted to comply with the Egyptian request except for one thing -Sheikh had been hanged two hours before the telephone call...
...waving the shirt of Othman." As Hussein's neighbors leaped to the guerrillas' defense last week with words-but little else-that is what they seemed to be doing. Iraq expelled the Jordanian ambassador and demanded Jordan's ouster from the Arab League. Egypt's Anwar Sadat in effect called Hussein a liar, while a spokesman in Cairo said that the events were "a black mark on the forehead of the Jordanian government." No government, however, did anything tangible to help the guerrillas...
