PERSIAN GULF. Poor intelligence and diplomatic shortsightedness have trapped the U.S. in an increasingly difficult position in Iran. Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlavi could fall any hour, yet Carter has found no course but to continue supporting him, at least publicly. The fall of the Shah, which many now predict, would change the equations of power, from Egypt and Ethiopia all the way east to Pakistan. The helplessness of the U.S. to shape events in Iran is beginning to sap Saudi Arabia's confidence in the ability of the U.S. to protect the region from Soviet penetration, a hazard that...
Though the police are sometimes cavalier in dealing with reports of missing teenagers, Mrs. Piest's call for help reached Lieut. Joseph Kozenczak, whose son attended the same high school as the missing youth. He began investigating, and he soon found the contractor Piest had mentioned, John Wayne Gacy, 36, owner of the P.D.M. Construction Co., which had been renovating the drugstore. There was evidence that Piest had been at Gacy's brick ranch house-a receipt for a roll of Piest's film was found there-but Gacy appeared to be a respectable citizen, a father...
...buckle, a button-that will help us to identify the victims," says Dr. Robert Stein, Cook County medical examiner. Gacy cannot help with most of them because he never knew their names. He does recall Robert Piest: he was thrown in the river, and his body has not been found.

Before the police came, he had bedecked his home with colored lights. They shone throughout Christmas, until last week when somebody...
...days before the killing, the touring trio found themselves constantly surrounded by official silence, subterfuge and surveillance. On foot, even in Phnom-Penh, they were usually flanked by two young men in khaki shirts with pistols tucked into their belts. Often they were not even allowed out of their guest house. On the road, their government-supplied Mercedes 200 sedan was always both preceded and followed by at least a carload of armed guards. Government officials explained that there was a constant danger of assassination attempts on Cambodian officials by "the Vietnamese and their agents" even in Phnom-Penh itself...
...Israelis too appeared to welcome the diplomatic pause. Government officials spoke of a plan to establish 20 more Jewish settlements in the West Bank over the next four years, but when members of Gush Emunim, the fanatical religious organization, tried to found two illegal settlements on the hills above Jerusalem last week, soldiers quickly evicted them. Many officials grumbled over a statement by Egypt's Acting Foreign Minister Boutros Ghali that "a political confrontation will occur during negotiations to define the powers of a Palestinian regime." Though this has been implicit in the Egyptian position all along, Israeli officials...
