Morning, some weeks later. Miss Quested has found her adventure, her brief and, as it will happen, terrifying glimpse of Indian reality. A young Muslim physician, Dr. Aziz, has mounted an excursion to the Marabar Caves, in the hills beyond Chandrapore, for the two English ladies. To transport them in style he has laid on a huge retinue of servants and an elephant. "An old, old animal, an ancient, ancient animal, plodding on almost back into the past," is how the man who made the film describes the creature.

An Iraqi-owned building, used for unofficial diplomatic and commercial tasks, was converted into a full-fledged embassy as the U.S. resumed formal relations with the Arab country after a 17-year estrangement. To mark the event, President Reagan and Iraq's Deputy Prime Minister Tariq Aziz met at the White House.

Why did they send their boys in the first place...
...Italy, Ammar el Taghazi, last month. More recently, two radical terrorist groups claimed responsibility for the fatal shooting on a Paris street of Gholam Ali Oveissi, who commanded Iran's army under the Shah. The next day the United Arab Emirates Ambassador to France, Khalifa Ahmed Abdel Aziz Mubarak, was slain as he left his Paris home. Italy is not alone in serving as a killing ground for Middle Eastern vendettas, and the Red Brigades, specialists in death, may have found new life through ties to the Middle East's more murderous factions...
