...diplomatic air was filled last week with talk of a possible Middle East settlement between Egypt and Israel-and the talk was kept aloft by Egypt's Gamal Abdel Nasser. Such hopes, of course, had been raised many times since last summer's Arab-Israeli war, and never came to anything. This time, diplomats in London reported that the Egyptians had informed United Nations Mediator Gunnar Jarring that, if Israel withdrew its forces from the Sinai Peninsula under the terms of last November's U.N. resolution, they would permit a U.N. peace-keeping force to occupy...
...INDIAN WANTS THE BRONX works on the fear that violence might lurk around any city corner, thus stretching a taut tale of sadism and senseless victimizing. After an appearance at the Spoleto Festival, Israel Horovitz's drama resumes its off-Broadway run July...
...more Middle Eastern oil was being shipped in giant tankers around the Cape of Good Hope. Faced with the prospect of dwindling profits from the waterway, Egypt began giving thought to building an overland pipeline as an alternate route for transmitting oil to the Mediterranean Sea.

Last week, getting the jump on the Egyptians, Israel started construction of a $113 million pipeline project linking the port of Elath on the Gulf of Aqaba to Ashkelon...
Egypt meanwhile, hopes to start work on a 42-in. line of its own late next year with completion scheduled for the end of 1970-a full year after Israel's line is due to go into operation. Under plans drawn up by a British engineering firm, the $150 million line would carry 50 million tons per year from the Gulf of Suez to one of three terminals-Alexandria, Damietta and Port Said. Despite the greater distance involved, the Egyptians will most likely decide on the 190-mile Alexandria route on the theory that it would be more secure...
Once their pipelines are completed, Egypt and Israel will find themselves ri vals for the same trade. Cairo is obviously counting on its Arab neighbors, which currently produce 75% of the Middle East's oil annually, to keep its line bubbling. The region's only major non-Arab producer is Iran, on which Israel relies for much of its domestic oil needs. But predominantly Moslem Iran is sure to come under heavy Arab pressure to steer its oil-cargo trade in Cairo's direction. So, even though its pipeline is expected to be finished first, Israel...
