FORTNIGHT ago TIME Middle Eastern Correspondent William McHale had an exclusive interview with Iraq's Premier Abdul Karim Kassem, and the Premier gave McHale an autographed photograph of himself.

Two other U.S. correspondents, CBS's Winston Burdett and U.P.I.'s Larry Collins, got similar calls. The only explanation given the three men, none of whom...

...tension and threat of violence hanging over the Arab world last week got much too personal for two of our reporters. Paris Correspondent William McHale, covering the unrest in North Africa (see FOREIGN NEWS), was caught out after curfew one night near Algiers. Stopped by Senegalese troops with fixed bayonets, McHale was prodded off to the commissariat by a young French machine gunner with an itchy finger.
