Along the Middle East's frontiers, bristling with weaponry, rolled a drumfire of incidents, any one of which could spark a new war. Israeli and Jordanian artillery dueled across the Jordan valley.

About one-sixth, or $1 billion, of the import surge was caused by U.S. labor troubles. Copper imports, for example, doubled to $600 million during the first half of this year as a result of a 37-week miners' strike.
