...Wilson government demonstrated both restraint and forcefulness during the crisis--especially in dealing with Security Council President Moussa L. Keita of Mali when he inexcusably delayed the meeting. But it should be prepared to take broader measures if the existing sanctions do not bring Smith to his knees.

To make sure the fun was harmless, Nasser instituted a new legal provision last week: any speaker who criticizes any public official must furnish the authorities with documentary proof of his charges within five days of making them...
...barricade, rifle-slung Arab Legionnaires of Jordan and rifle-slung border guards of Israel enforce the division day and night in the name of their jealous sovereignties. One day last week, all Beit Safafa was excited by the wedding of two of its children-Fatma Bint, 20, and Moussa Ayasha, 23, a gardener at the Belgian consulate in Jerusalem...
