...chiefly held Jordan together. The overwhelming majority of his subjects are former Palestinians, many of them refugees, without any devotion to Hussein. Increasingly, the King has excluded the more literate but less trustworthy Palestinians from key posts in the army, depending instead upon tribal loyalties of the Bedouins in eastern Jordan. Only martial law upholds the government, only the army's loyalty sustains the throne, only U.S. aid poured in at the rate of $50 million a year keeps the economy going.

The North's Premier, the Sardauna of Sokoto, a haughty Moslem...

The pact, the first of its kind in U.S. industry, was spurred by a strike of the Machinists, which shut down Capital Airlines over demands for an hourly raise of 42?. The Machinists have also threatened to strike Trans World Airlines and Eastern. All six airlines-American, Capital, Eastern, Pan American, T.W.A., United-have agreed to put on extra flights along routes they also serve to take care of the passengers of any struck line. The lines plan to make no profit on the overflow traffic. They will turn over all earnings, after taking...
