...even as they are scooping up the bags of bills and coins. The reason is simple: unlike common criminals, terrorists face the wrath of Brazil's steel-fisted military. Much of TIME'S reporting of guerrilla activity in the Arab world is the work of Beirut Correspondent Gavin Scott, who last week interviewed Skyjacker Leila Khaled in a Palestinian refugee camp. "She proved as fast in conversation as she apparently is on the draw," says Scott. "Which is not to say I would particularly enjoy conversing with her at 34,000 feet...

"There was chaos on our arrival. Our photographer was relieved of his film by a Jeep-load of grisly characters bristling...
...million subsidy to Egypt this month; since Libya's Colonel Muammar Gaddafi is undecided about negotiation, the delay might have been a pointed notice to Nasser to negotiate with care, if at all. Egypt can ill afford such a slight. King Feisal of Saudi Arabia, TIME Correspondent Gavin Scott learned in Cairo last week, has apparently withheld $25 million due Egypt for war support because the King is angry that Arab disunity is keeping the punctured pipeline through which his oil flows from being repaired...
