...ally. Said Kay Kwang Gil, a Seoul expert on international relations: "If this sort of piracy act had gone unpunished, few of the American allies on this side of the Pacific could have found it easy to maintain confidence in the U.S." The Japanese, who depend heavily on oil tankers and freighters that use the seas off the Cambodian coast, called the U.S. action justified. Australians generally regarded the U.S. action as inevitable and believed that the Mayaguez had to be recaptured if U.S. influence in the Far East was to be taken seriously...
...problems. Currently, Iraq's relations with Syria are at the breaking point over disposition of water from the Euphrates River. Baghdad charges that Damascus has deliberately stored up so much water behind its new Tabqa Dam that Iraqi crops have been ruined and that 3 million Iraqis who depend on the river are short of drinking water. Saudi Petroleum Minister Sheik Zaki Yamani, whose negotiating skills have been honed at endless meetings of Middle East oil moguls, has been mediating between them.

Moreover, both Soares and Communist Party Chief Alvaro Cunhal recently stressed in interviews with TIME that the biggest problem will be to find the experienced personnel to run the newly nationalized industries. "We don't want to substitute state capitalism for a monopolistic one," said Soares...
...other "possible witnesses and interviewees." Albert Speer, Dr. Howard Levy and General Vo Nguyen Giap were on the list, as well as such prominent architects of American involvement as Robert McNamara and McGeorge Bundy. Ophuls stressed, however, that the lineup of people to be interviewed would have to depend on the budget and on whom would be available. The similarities between Nazi Germany and America in Viet Nam were, for Ophuls, "an open question-but one that had to be explored." He also insisted that the final form could not be outlined because the film itself had to reflect...
