...sheikdoms and emirates that are joined with Aden in the Federation of South Arabia add up to an area of shifting sands, tribal fiefs, and steadily building trouble. A pair of powerful leftist terrorist organizations - the Front for the Liberation of Occupied South Yemen (F.L.O.S.Y.), which is backed by Nasser, and the home grown rebels of the National Liberation Front (N.L.F.) - have been jockeying for positions of power ever since Britain promised to give the federation its independence in January. With four months to go, the terrorists are operating with increasing urgency...
...Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee moved deeper into black isolationism and drew angry denunciations from Jewish-American organizations for a shoddily printed anti-Israeli broadside featuring smudgy photographs of an alleged "massacre" of Arabs by Jews and 32 "facts" about Israel that could have been written by Gamal Abdel Nasser. The newsletter also revealed that S.N.C.C. had its own problems. Accused of seeking Arab money, S.N.C.C. confessed it was financially in extremis. Pleaded its newsletter: "Help! Help!

He has suggested that he might be ready to bring the Yemen war to an end, and he has hinted that he would like to restore diplomatic ties with the U.S. But to accept Israel as Tito proposed still seems to be too bitter a pill for defeated Arabs to swallow. Obviously even Tito had his doubts...
...Whatever Nasser thought of that idea, Israel would surely reject it out of hand. Once more last week, Defense Minister Moshe Dayan scoffed at the notion of withdrawal from the "new territories" Israel now holds. "There is no going back to the 1948 borders," said Dayan. "We must not allow other countries acting in their own interests to force us to return to the old situation. We need to consider the reality...
