Libya's Colonel Muammar Gaddafi is lavish with both words and money. Last week he took five hours-quite a stretch for Arabs who love prolix oratory-to extol pan-Arabism. Arab states, he insisted, do not need "Communism, fascism, foreign capitalism or liberalism." Instead, they are capable of forming a united force that could easily become the third great world power. One step toward this goal, Gaddafi said, would be to overthrow King Hussein of Jordan and King Hassan of Morocco, just as he and fellow officers 21 years ago toppled Libya's King Idris.

He has been courting the Soviets for some time, and last week, after he fired his shot at Whitehall, he ostentatiously flew off for secret talks with Colonel Muammar Gaddafi's anti-Western regime in Libya...
...been able to climb out of his "year of decision" corner, without taking any action. Simply because a decision has been made, he now tells visitors, does not mean that it must be implemented immediately. Nevertheless, in talks last week with Syrian President Hafez Assad and Libyan Leader Muammar Gaddafi, Sadat appeared to be psyching himself for an inevitable battle...
