The Gulf States' endorsement could be the first step toward transforming the Fahd proposal into a pan-Arab peace plan, provided the Saudis can win approval for it at the 23-nation Arab League summit in Fez, Morocco, on Nov. 25. If the league, which includes the Palestine Liberation Organization, endorses the Fahd plan, the step would be the most important in Arab summitry since the Rabat meeting in 1974 that recognized the P.L.O. as the sole legitimate representative of the Palestinian people...
...these Saudi statements is problematic. The Saudis have no diplomatic relations with the U.S.S.R. and have often denounced Communism as "godless." They may merely be trying to win a consensus in favor of the Fahd plan from pro-Soviet states at an Arab summit scheduled to convene in Fez, Morocco, on Nov. 25.

When he rises, he finds himself in a twilit garden, owned by an ominous wizard in a fez. Nothing is quite the same, not even his pet. The fat man's hobby: turning pet dogs into ducks. Long after the spell ends, an eerie residue remains, like a dream that persists in the waking world. Chris Van Allsburg's narrative leans too hard on pictures...
...with the suggestion that they be raised by no more than 10% over the last submissions. Most, however, demanded increases of 100% or more for everything from hospitals to police stations to cultural centers. When Libyan Treasury Minister Muhammad Zarouk Rajab urged restraint, an elderly delegate in a black fez and business suit took exception. "There are no controls!" he shouted. "How can we ask for services when we don't know how much money can be spent?" Finally, Gaddafi called a halt to the budget discussions by announcing that all requests were "approved" -though whether the requested money...
