...situation under control might succeed. Manning a bank of telephones at Tehran's well-guarded Niavaran Palace, he ordered army commanders to keep down the civilian death toll, something they have not always tried to do in the past. He announced the release of 122 political prisoners, including Karim Sanjabi, leader of the opposition National Front, who had been arrested a month earlier after visiting Khomeini in France...
...whom the Shah considered for the post only three weeks ago was Karim Sanjabi, leader of the opposition National Front. But then Sanjabi went to Paris and pledged his loyalty to Ayatullah Khomeini, the exiled leader of Iran's Shi'ite Muslims. When Sanjabi returned to Iran, he was arrested. There have been rumors in Tehran that the Shah has had secret meetings with Sanjabi. Not true. In fact, he no longer finds Sanjabi acceptable.

These factional tensions require West Bank political leaders?whatever their private feelings?to insist publicly that only the Palestine Liberation Organization can negotiate with Israel on their behalf. Says Ramallah's Mayor Karim Khalaf, 41: "The P.L.O. is Palestine and Palestine is the P.L.O. Without the P.L.O. there will be no negotiations at all." Israel, meanwhile, still flatly rejects any idea of P.L.O. participation in negotiations. Both Washington and Jerusalem want negotiations on the future of the West Bank and Gaza to include Jordan's King Hussein?a prospect the West Bankers view with mixed feelings. Many moderates believe that...
