...Iraq-Iran reconciliation took place two weeks ago in Algiers at the summit meeting of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries. Shortly before that conference ended, Algerian President Houari Boumedienne dramatically announced that the two neighbors had agreed to settle "problems" that had made them bitter enemies for almost half a century. As the OPEC delegates cheered wildly, Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlavi and Iraqi Strongman Saddam Hussein Takriti embraced each other...
Last week the news tour visited two Arab leaders, Saudi Arabia's King Faisal, 68, and Algeria's President Houari Boumedienne, 50. Each, by his own lights, sought to sound a conciliatory note. In another way, the two offered a startling contrast.

Arab leaders such as King Faisal of Saudi Arabia and Algerian President Houari Boumedienne quite naturally decry the idea of U.S. interposition in the Middle East because of oil.

Rome worried that American intervention might risk nuclear...
...horseshoe table in Morocco's Rabat Hilton. "This summit conference has been like a wedding feast for the Palestinians," said Yasser Arafat. After four days of sometimes bitter debate, the Arab summit?attended by such luminaries as Saudi Arabia's King Faisal, Egypt's President Anwar Sadat, Algeria's Houari Boumedienne and Syria's Hafez Assad?had radically and dramatically altered the Middle East situation. The leaders, including even Jordan's acquiescent King Hussein, for the first time had unanimously endorsed Arafat instead of Hussein as "sole legitimate" spokesman for all Palestinians, including the 640,000 who live under Israeli...
