...leaders bother to note that Al Aqsa compound, far from being fireproof, had been the scene of blazes in 1949 and 1964, during Jordanian rule. What did matter was that, because millions of Arabs reflexively held Israel responsible for the latest fire, guerrilla organizations were strengthened in their hard-line anti-Israeli positions. Arab governments adopted correspondingly tough stances in an effort to match the extremists' thunder...
...Poland's postwar Communist government has rarely missed a chance to belabor West Germany as a haven of unrepentant Nazis. Now, in an abrupt switch, Party First Secretary Wladyslaw Gomulka has held out the promise of better relations in return for West German acceptance of the Oder-Neisse Line as Germany's legal eastern boundary. The motivation is economic: in search of up to $400 million to modernize their old plants, the Poles hope that a more friendly political atmosphere might bring in much-needed West German credits...
...Sudan's three rebellion-wracked southern provinces sprawl across the turbulent boundary line between the Arab world to the north and Black Africa to the south. It is in these provinces, where the grassy savannah meets the tropical forest, that the clash between the two worlds has been bloodiest.

Unlike most spliced-together syndication deals, the Smothers link-up will be simultaneous (air time: 8 p.m., everywhere) to allow for topical references and nationwide promotion and sponsorship...
...date), the show will consist of the same tape that CBS decided "would be considered irreverent and offensive by a large segment of our audience" during the week of the Eisenhower funeral. CBS specifically cited a parody sermonette by Religion Satirist David Steinberg (his final line: "Let's put Christ back into Christmas and 'ch' back into Chanukah"). But more likely the network objected to the show's running gags about John Pastore, the influential chairman and Mrs. Grundy of the Senate Communications Subcommittee. For example, Guest Dan Rowan of Laugh-In gave the Senator...
