...that Israel's lack of commitment on withdrawal made the situation one of increasing concern. In an effort to get the talks going again, the Big Four (Britain, France, the Soviet Union and the U.S.) held two meetings in Manhattan last week. They were unable to issue a communiqué at the close of their discussions, however, because the U.S. and the Soviets could not agree on its wording. Washington, supported by Britain and France, pressed for continuation of the formal ceasefire: the Soviets wanted the statement to censure Israel...

Last week the Ranger battalion's losses were classified as "light," only to be revealed three days later as 100 killed, 145 wounded and 78 missing.

The Front dropped its ransom demand but stuck to its insistence that political prisoners be released and flown to Cuba or Algeria, and that police activity stop. At week's end, the government announced that it still would not meet the Front's demands. Within minutes, the terrorists retaliated by kidnaping Quebec Labor Minister Pierre Laporte, who is one of the ruling Liberal Party's chief provincial leaders...
