Aware of Arafat's desperate need for a new approach, Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Fahd invited him to Riyadh in June. At that meeting, Fahd convinced Arafat of the need for the P.L.O. to build a new relationship with...
...decision in July to ease the Western oil squeeze by increasing its production by a million barrels a day for a period of three months was not just gratuitous generosity. It was also aimed at spurring U.S. action on the Palestinian question. In fact, TIME has learned that Saudi Crown Prince Fahd himself has played a key role in coaxing Arafat toward moderation.

Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Fahd last week shot down a hopeful rumor that his country would increase production, and Iran is holding exports to barely half of prerevolutionary levels. Oil-industry publications buzz with talk of further cutbacks in Algeria and Libya...
