...which he could get no agreement was a proposed "code of conduct" to regulate the efforts that several governments are making to work out special deals with Middle Eastern producers in order to assure their own energy supplies. France, for example, is negotiating pacts with Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Libya that would guarantee it millions of barrels of oil in return for stepped-up deliveries of French weapons and technology to the producers.

Today the Children are scattered to the four corners of the earth, preaching doom to America, buttering up Libya's latter-day caliph, Colonel Muammar Gaddafi, and loosening up their sex ethics enough to lure new members.
