...global village," world opinion remains a force of unpredictable strength. Worldwide indignation did nothing to stop the savagery inflicted on the Biafrans, nor could it persuade the terrorists in Canada to spare the life of Quebec Labor Minister Pierre Laporte (whose three alleged kidnapers were arrested last week outside Montreal). It has had no leverage at all on Hanoi, which has rejected every U.S. proposal for an exchange of P.O.W.s, and continues to hold more than 300 Americans in its prison camps. Yet last week, in two cases that created shock waves throughout the world, opinion had at least...

Even before the victim of Canada's first political kidnaping was set free in Montreal last week, the new brand of terror had spread to Europe. In San Sebastian, a prospering seaport in northern Spain's Basque country, a gang of youthful urban guerrillas was waiting when Eugen Beihl, a West German businessman who doubles as Bonn's consul in the city, returned home from work. Beihl, 59, never made it into his house. Two days later, his Mercedes was found abandoned on a cart track leading into the Pyrenees and the French border...
