Their orders were to kill until they themselves were killed. And thus last week a Palestinian suicide mission left a grisly trail of carnage along Israel's main coastal highway from Haifa to Tel Aviv.

Nkomo last week denied that he had invited Cuban advisers to join his Zambian-based guerrillas. But his strong supporter, Zambia's moderately pro-Western President Kenneth Kaunda, has threatened that he might request Soviet and Cuban aid to defend his country from Rhodesian attacks...
Smith's settlement posed an awkward diplomatic problem for the U.S. and Britain, which had proposed an alternative plan that would include leaders of the Patriotic Front in negotiations. The main features of the Anglo-American proposal: 1) Smith's government would resign and be replaced by an interim regime headed by a British proconsul; 2) elections for a new multiracial government, on a one-man, one-vote basis, would be internationally supervised; 3) rebel and Rhodesian forces would be merged...
