...listened respectfully to Yamani's proposals though we did not accept them," said one oil minister. When the other OPEC chieftains failed to buy his reasoning, Yamani dramatically rose from the conference table and strode out of the hall. He flew to Riyadh for talks with King Khalid ibn Abdul Aziz. The other oil ministers pretended to be unimpressed by Yamani's theatrics. Said Iraq's oil minister, Karim: "It is a big game that he always plays." When word came that Yamani was returning to the conference. Qatar's minister of finance and petroleum, Abdul...
...wooing the new Administration. For one thing, Syrian armed might has resolved that distracting obstacle to peace, Lebanon's civil war. For another, the October Arab summits at Riyadh and Cairo left Western-oriented moderates-principally Sadat, Syrian President Hafez Assad and Saudi Arabia's King Khalid -in undisputed control over Arab strategy. The so-called rejectionists like Iraq and Libya, which oppose a permanent settlement with Israel, emerged largely discredited...
...fresh signs of hope for eventual peace in Lebanon. In Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia, six Arab leaders who are most deeply concerned with the war met at the invitation-or command, considering the weight of his oil subsidies to other Arab nations-of the Saudis' King Khalid.

Back in Chicago, meanwhile, emissaries of Qabus bin Said, 35, Sultan of Oman, were content merely to rent space...
...Syriana collapsed. For one thing, it appeared that Damascus had far less sway over the Lebanese Moslems, leftists and Palestinians than it had claimed. For another, Syria's frantic efforts to gain another cease-fire were backed primarily by Jordan's King Hussein and Saudi Arabia's King Khalid, two conservative monarchs who are anathema to radical Arabs. The U.S. also endorsed Syria's peace efforts, as did Moscow, although the Russians played no perceptible role in the crisis. Egyptian President Anwar Sadat, who was in Western Europe shopping for arms, strengthened his slightly tarnished credentials as a champion...
