...battle lines. One who succeeded was TIME Correspondent George de Carvalho. From Beirut last week he cabled his report on a 23-day trek in which he crossed the peaks, plateaus and wadis from Aden to the Saudi Arabian border, traveling a total of 1,000 miles by camel, donkey, car and shoe leather without once leaving royalist-held territory (see map). Along the way, Correspondent De Carvalho was repeatedly shot at by Egyptian fighter planes, tanks, mortars, and artillery, saw two of his six Yemeni guards killed and one wounded in battle...

Just about every major drug company in the U.S. is working on some sort of birth control product. Some of the drugs being tested may make the first oral contraceptives-which must be taken 20 times a month at a total cost of $3 -seem as ancient as camel froth. Indianapolis' Eli Lilly & Co. is experimenting with pills that have to be taken only once a month, and Ortho is working hard on a vaccine.

...actors, however, survive the encounter. Guinness as Prince Feisal is finely serpentine, and Quinn is magnificent as the venal and violent Sheikh Auda abu Tayi, a great black hairy camel of a man who sucks up gold as a camel sucks up water, and then spews it out with a roar of patriarchal pride: "I am a river to my people!"
