...Hussein and his army chased them out of Amman and penned them in in a mountainous area near the Syrian border. Two months ago, 30,000 royal troops, mostly Bedouins, attacked again and wiped out that last guerrilla pocket. The fedayeen either surrendered to the King or fled to friendlier Arab countries. George Habash, the soft-eyed physician who still leads the militantly Marxist P.F.L.P., is determined to continue the fight. In his first interview with a Western newsman since last year's hijackings, he told TIME'S Gavin Scott: "We are beaten. We are having a very...
...overwhelming reality for the U.S. is still Viet Nam, and it, too, could be affected by Peking's intimations of a latter-day open-door policy. It was unrealistic to expect that a somewhat friendlier China would help bring about a settlement of the war, but part of the original American rationale for the war was undermined. If China was turning into a Ping Pong partner, the containment of its threat could no longer be described in American political rhetoric with quite the same urgency...

When a world leader travels, the apparatus of modern communications spreads his every word worldwide. Thus Nixon was speaking not only to his hosts but to the Soviet Union and the Arab world, as well as to friendlier nations seeking reassurance of U.S. firmness. Wherever he went, he also talked as the peacemaker, probing especially for ideas on how to maintain the precarious ceasefire in the Middle East and how to get U.N.-mediated negotiations going. All of the leaders Nixon visited, including Pope Paul, Italy's President Giuseppe Saragat, Yugoslavia's Marshal Tito, Spain's General...
Sabry's political opposite is Zakaria Mohieddin, 52, former intelligence chief and a member of the original 14-man cabal that overthrew the monarchy. Mohieddin is an intellectual and Egypt Firster who favors a settlement with Israel and development of friendlier relations with the West; as a result, coffeehouse chatter brands him, unjustly but damningly, as "the C.I.A. candidate." When Nasser offered his calculated resignation following the Six-Day War, he named Mohieddin, then one of Egypt's three Vice Presidents, as his successor. Nasser quickly resumed his post and a year later, after a fallout over economic...
