That prospect has caused Japan to threaten Hanoi with a cutoff in aid, which now amounts to $50 million, if it allows Cam Ranh Bay to become a Soviet base. Last week the five ASEAN states of Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia and the Philippines poured cold water on Hanoi's offer of a nonaggression pact.

For Muslims of the Middle East, one event in the past decade stands out as a modern landmark in the history of the faith. On the afternoon of Oct. 6, 1973, the cry of "Allahu Akbar!" (God is great) rose from the throats of Egyptian soldiers as they stormed across the Suez...
