Although Hassan was plainly galled by his brother's decision, he quickly affirmed his loyalty to the new heir. Abdullah, designated regent while his father struggles to overcome non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, pledged to Hussein to "follow in your footsteps." U.S. officials privately called him "a chip off the old block," and Israel reacted without alarm. Many analysts regard the leadership turmoil in Jordan as less worrisome than that in other Arab states, where aging Kings and Presidents may soon give way to unfamiliar new rulers.

With Hussein in an American hospital for treatment of lymphoma and not expected to return to the Middle East for at another two more months, despite a good prognosis, Hassan is currently running the country, but in close consultation with the ailing king. In a way, it is a kind of practice run for his succession, although he and the rest of the royal family believe that the king will resume the throne after successful medical treatment. The crown prince is weary of the inevitable comparisons with his charismatic older brother. He acknowledges that he is not as smooth...
