WITH Ben-Gurion preparing to withdraw from Egyptian soil, the world's eyes swung to another defier of U.N. resolutions, Egypt's Gamal Abdel Nasser, whose country since 1951 has ignored a U.N. resolution to let Israeli ships through the Suez Canal. Would Nasser now agree to final clearance of the canal and negotiate an acceptable contract for its operation? Gamal Abdel Nasser is a man who once aroused universal admiration, then widespread concern. His brief career has now reached a fateful turning. For a new estimate of the 39-year-old dictator of the Nile, see FOREIGN...

Counter-Pressure. Any more concessions to Israel at this point would estrange the moderate Arab opinion that the new U.S. Middle East policy is trying to foster.
