...death last week Faisal was mourned by an imposing delegation of Arab leaders, ranging from ardent socialists like Algeria's Houari Boumedienne to semifeudal sheiks from neighboring gulf coast states. The King would probably have been more moved, however, by the national outpouring of grief from Saudis of every level, with whom he had never lost touch...
...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.

"A colonialist enterprise doomed to failure," thundered Algerian President Houari Boumedienne, reacting to his own reading of the Kissinger statement. "Gunboat policies," ridiculed Pravda. Egypt's President Anwar Sadat warned that the oil-producing Arab nations would blow up their wells rather than let them be seized by U.S. forces. Rome worried that American intervention might risk nuclear...
