Other Arabs, to keep on the good side of the fedayeen, supported them and ignored Hussein's problem. Nevertheless, having decided on a showdown, Hussein was badly advised by army leaders under Field Marshal Habes Majali. They assured the King that the fighting would be wrapped up in 24 hours at the most. How wrong they were quickly became evident in Amman (once named Philadelphia, or City of Brotherly Love, by conquering Greeks...

...police. Last week, after the Philadelphia police deaths, police raided three Black Panther headquarters and at one of them forced the male blacks to strip on the sidewalk for a search. To ease tension during large-scale demonstrations, John Spiegel of Brandeis suggests a variation of the student marshal system used to cool the crowds during the May 1 pro-Panther rally on the New Haven Green. If neighborhood marshals were put to good use where confrontation is likely, they might be more effective than cops from outside. The problem, says Spiegel, would then be "put in the hands...
