Saudi Arabia did not have much to say either. Two weeks ago, Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah surprised U.S. officials with a declaration that the Marines ought to be getting Israeli forces out of Lebanon; publicly at least, the Saudis now seem to be less concerned that the U.S. is taking sides in the Lebanese maelstrom.

The board of soft-drink producer Royal Crown Cos. reversed itself and agreed to recommend that stockholders accept a $40-a-share bid by Florida-based Investor Victor Posner unless a better offer comes along. Posner, an aggressive and frequently feared accumulator of big blocks of corporate stock, controls more than 26% of Royal Crown's shares.
