...Jordan's beleaguered King Hussein, having to contend with Israel last week proved less of a problem than dealing with the Arab world. In the wake of Israel's four-hour retaliatory raid against the Jordanian border village of Samu (TIME, Nov. 25), Hussein suddenly found himself criticized by prac tically every Arab country and buffeted at home by the seething discontent of his people, most of whom favor a much tougher line toward Israel than the moderate King has seen fit to take...
...arms for defense and attacking Hussein for refusing to counter aggression with aggression. In Hebron, they burned the car of Hussein's governor and forced the army to throw roadblocks around the town. At Nablus, they potshot at po lice from barricades and upstairs win dows. In the Arab sector of Jerusalem, thousands poured through the streets, ripping down pictures of the King and shouting anti-Hussein slogans before Hussein's elite Arab Legion fired into the crowd from the walls around the Damascus gate. Riots dragged on for two days in nearby Ramallah, where the legion also...

Sometimes they crossed over from Lebanon, sometimes from Syria, where they were actually based. But more often, they sneaked in through Jordan, where King Hussein seemed powerless to stop them. Last week, Israel finally struck back with the white-hot fury of the desert...
...Skulnik and a Zulu tribesman. In Don't Drink the Water, a touring New Jersey caterer (Lou Jacobi), his wife (Kay Medford) and daughter (Anita Gillette) temporarily take asylum in a U.S. embassy in a country much like Hungary. In one extraneous scene, the caterer dresses down an Arab oil sheik for being cruel to his Arab subjects. As the episode suggests, Jews have a slight edge in these comedies, perhaps reflecting the fact that there is a phenomenally low ticket demand for Broadway shows among Japanese gentlemen, Zulus and Arab sheiks...
