...affairs since a 1974 Rabat summit of Arab leaders recognized the P.L.O. as the sole representative of the Palestinians. Last week Hussein canceled a trip to Washington scheduled for April 17. In its inimitable way, the Carter Administration had neglected to tell him of the Sadat and Begin meetings. Furious, the King informed the White House that the proposed timing of his trip would make it seem as if he were being drawn into the peace process. West Bankers these days would not mind if that were the case. Although they felt neglected and suppressed during the 19 years...

First of all, it gave the Muslim insurgency a new dimension of credibility: the Kabul general strike demonstrated exactly the kind of organized resistance that had been conspicuously absent from the disunited guer rilla campaign the mujahidin (as the Muslim "holy warriors" call themselves) have been conducting in the countryside. At the same time, the civilian rage gave the He to the Kremlin's arguments that in the name of reciprocal friendship its forces...
...Knight skipped away from his family's company to join a valued St. Louis client, Emerson Electric, of which he soon became chief executive. Father was furious. The breach has healed in the seven years since then, in part because Chuck Knight has shown how well he learned his lessons. Emerson is on most short lists of the best-managed companies in the country, and, with its sales having risen steadily to $2.6 billion last year, it is challenging bigger General Electric and Westinghouse in many product areas. Now 44, Knight is one of the youngest chairmen...
