NOTHING, it seemed, could halt the bloody feud between the army of Lebanon and the Palestinian Al-Fatah guerrillas-not the intervention of Gamal Abdel Nasser, not the warnings of the U.S. and the Soviet Union, not the menace of an uneasy Israel.

The only way for the scheduled lines to stall the charters is to reduce their own rates.

After the Kosygin-Chou meeting, the Soviets abruptly turned off their radio and newspaper campaign against the Chinese. The most notable exception was a story by London Evening News Correspondent Victor Louis, a Soviet citizen believed to have close ties to the K.G.B., the Soviet secret police. Louis hinted that Moscow, under the Brezhnev Doctrine, had not abandoned the possibility of intervention in China. Despite that report, the 4,500-mile...
