...week no fewer than four Premiers called on him. Italy's Premier Amintore Fanfani, the first top Western statesman to visit Cairo in two years, was there to argue a special Italian affinity for Arabs. Ghana's Kwame Nkrumah passed through; Lebanon's new Premier Rashid Karami dropped in to mend fences; and East Germany's Otto Grotewohl made a formal call on Nasser. Afterwards Grotewohl announced that the two countries, while not generally recognizing one another, would establish "consular relations." West Germany, true to its insistence that it will break off relations with any nation...
...Beirut talk of a reversal of alliance in the Middle East was much too facile an explanation. But the U.S. finds itself currently between policies in the Middle East.

To offset Karami's Nasserism, he proposed as deputy premier a fellow Maronite Roman Catholic who wants no part of Arab nationalism. A moderate Moslem was picked as No. 3 man, and Edde himself...
...this formula all hands last week agreed. The Chamber of Deputies, which only a few days before had threatened to topple the Karami government, gave the four-man Cabinet a unanimous vote of confidence. As the news spread, street fighters and terrorists put down their arms. A delegation from Beirut's Moslem rebels even paid a courtesy coffee call on their former enemies at the headquarters of the Christian Phalange. The U.S. embassy declared the situation so improved that it was safe for American dependents to return to the country. The new Cabinet rescinded an earlier order expelling Nasser...
