Minus the Trademark. Initially, Arab leaders took the fedayeen's side. Many openly roasted Lebanon's President Charles Helou for refusing to allow them free movement. But last week, shocked that the crisis showed no signs of letup, the Arabs grew uneasy. Nasser invited both sides to conciliatory talks. Lebanese Army Chief Emile Bustani promptly flew into Cairo with proposals for a truce. In agreeing to the meeting, Helou insisted that "Lebanon's sovereignty should not be less than that of any other Arab state." In other words, he still wanted final say about where the guerrillas...

"Building a movement" implies creating a political force which will at some point have enough strength to coerce other segments of the university into ending certain activities...
