...ended," Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser said last week. "The Two, Three-or even Four-Year War is still continuing. We are at war with Israel." With those belligerent words, spoken in a week that saw ground and air action along the Suez Canal reach new intensity, Nasser effectively scrapped the U.N. Security Council cease-fire of 1967.
