Diplomatic Pressure. It was largely a manufactured momentum, reinforced by the fact that the foreign ministers of the hostile parties were attending the U.N. General Assembly. Arabs and Israelis felt the diplomatic pressure to the extent of revealing the negotiating positions that they had disclosed privately to Gunnar Jarring, the U.N.'s Middle East mediator...
...even powerless to intervene in Biafra, since the Organization of African Unity has declared Nigeria's war to be a regional preserve. That leaves only one trouble spot-the Middle East-where U.N. intervention is possible, if unpromising.

No French President has been murdered since 1932; West German leaders go virtually unguarded; the last (and only) assassination of a British Prime Minister occurred...
