Nevertheless, Israel, violating the standstill under the guise of "maintenance," has been steadily refurbishing the Bar-Lev Line on the east bank of the Suez Canal since August. Sandbags have been replaced by cement, and roads have been asphalted to forestall mining...
...parts, which take from one to five hours to implant, do not of themselves restore the patient's hearing. Instead, they serve as a scaffolding over which the patient's own ear-canal skin grows to form new ear tissue. The operation does, however, substantially reduce hearing loss. Most eardrum-damaged patients have moderately severe impediments. In most cases, the implants have improved their hearing to within the normal range...
Soviet Complicity. U.S. concern began to mount when the Soviets simply ignored U.S. and Israeli outcries over violations of the Suez Canal ceasefire. Then last week Moscow vitriolically denied its role in any violation and accused the U.S. of "unscrupulous distortion of the facts."

In unusually blunt terms, he said the Soviets' behavior has raised "some very serious questions about their intentions," and accused Russia of resuming cold war stridency...
Matter of Markets. U.S. companies have so far survived war, revolution, guerrilla attacks and every Arab attempt to exert leverage on Washington. The Suez Canal has been closed since the Six-Day War in 1967, but American-owned companies have continued to pump oil. The most serious disruption occurred last May, when a bulldozer accidentally severed the Trans-Arabian Pipeline (Tapline) in Syria, cutting off 480,000 bbl. a day.

Gradually rebuilding his forces, Nasser launched a "war of attrition" against the Israelis, who were dug in along the Suez Canal. Despite his constant advocacy of nonalignment, he grew increasingly dependent on Moscow to fuel his 288,000-man military machine. All the while, he denied that he was in danger of becoming Moscow...
