...anti-personnel bomb. Marsh Clark temporarily left his post as New York bureau chief and returned to Jerusalem, where he headed our bureau from 1970 to 1972, to cover developments in the Israeli capital.

Less ostensibly perturbed about America's motives, British officials nonetheless have their own fears. They are especially disappointed with Washington's failure to demand more concessions from the Russians.
