...Edythe separated, but still in love, at the end of the first act. (Sometime during Act II, the Prince finally produces the photographs, which elicit only a throwaway line and an obvious joke from Billy.) Similarly, there exists little reason why, in the second act, Edythe flees to Morocco, taking the entire cast with her. Without an involving and sustained conflict, and with an equally unengaging resolution, the musical seems unanchored from the outset...
...Administration. The President had hoped that his proposals of last September, in which he called for a future relationship between Jordan and the Israeli-occupied West Bank, would lead to broader Arab participation in the peace process.

More to the point, the Arab summit, by guaranteeing peace for "all states of the region," went a long way toward acknowledging Israel's right to exist. Finally, the President was aware that...
With so much of his guerrilla army now neutralized, if not very satisfactorily, Arafat is addressing himself to another challenge: rebuilding the P.L.O. as a political force.

From the film shot in his travels, Duncan has assembled a Pavlova of the highly photogenic landscapes and people of Islam...
...major event: according to a decision made at the 1981 summit in Nairobi, the Tripoli gathering would confirm his installation as O.A.U. chairman for one year. But Gaddafi alienated a number of moderate African states by helping to engineer the recognition of the Polisario guerrilla movement, which opposes Morocco's 1976 annexation of the Western Sahara, as the O.A.U.'s 51st member. As a result, only 21 heads of state showed up, and Gaddafi did not get the quorum of 34 necessary to hold a summit. Last week he tried and failed again to be host...
