...harshest critic of Sadat's pro-American policies is neighboring Libya and its President, Colonel Muammar Gaddafi. Last week Egyptian-Libyan relations hit a new low when Cairo implied that Gaddafi-a Moslem zealot who fancies himself Nasser's heir as the champion of the Islamic world-was personally linked to a plot to topple Sadat. As Egyptian officials tell it, a 38-year-old fanatic named Saleh Abdulla Sareya (a Palestinian with an Iraqi passport) led a group of youths armed only with knives in an attack against the Egyptian army's Technical Military Academy...
Neither the U.S. nor any other outside force appears able-or eager-to pressure the regime into giving its people more freedom. Internally, the only potential threat to the junta lies in the army's supernationalistic younger officers, who are known as Gaddafists in honor of Firebrand Libyan Colonel Muammar Gaddafi. The Gaddafists now support loannidis, but they could shift, as he did against Papadopoulos. Even if they do, however, the likely outcome would be tighter rule, and the Greeks would be no nearer democracy than they have been since 1967.

Algeria, Kuwait and Syria were also opposed to ending the boycott. Some of the other Arab states would probably agree to a compromise-perhaps...
...found charisma to strengthen Arab unity. He played a major role in Lahore, Pakistan, last week as delegates from 38 nations met for a quinquennial Islamic summit. As expected. Middle Eastern issues dominated the agenda. The Islamic leaders -including Saudi Arabia's King Faisal, Libyan Strongman Muammar Gaddafi, Algerian President Houari Boumedienne as well as Sadat and Assad-issued a strong demand for the eventual return of Arab sovereignty in Jerusalem...
...even stranger flight of fancy is Berg's courtship of Libyan Strongman Gaddafi. Last spring, the Mo Letters began to talk about "godly socialism" and to describe Gaddafi as the savior who will ignite the young and rescue them from those twin sources of evil, godless Communism and American materialism. The Moslem leader, in return, has commended the C.O.G. on Libyan radio and has invited a son and daughter of Berg to visit him in Tripoli...
