...Meeting in New Delhi, Yugoslavia, the United Arab Republic and India urged an immediate end to U.S. bombing of the North and withdrawal of all foreign-meaning U.S.-troops. Asked if that applied to the North Vietnamese as well as the Americans, U.A.R. President Gamal Abdel Nasser smiled blandly. "The North Vietnamese," he purred, "say they do not have any forces in South Viet...
...seven were part of an anti-Nasser opposition that had flared up in Yemen last month after Sallal replaced Premier Hassan Amri. Shortly after Amri's ouster, a mysterious bazooka emplacement shelled Sallal's palace in San'a. Before long, terrorists were potshotting at an Egyptian army camp outside the capital and setting fire to Egyptian installations, killing a reported 70 Egyptian troops.

Nostalgically recalling the good old days, Nasser remarked that the world was no longer so sharply split between East and West. "Our world is still governed by strife," he added, as if to suggest that this, at least, was reason to gather...
...only because his Arab clients deserted him. For one thing, soaring interest rates have lately made Europe a more profitable haven for cash. Also, Intra became involved in the bitter feud between Egypt's Gamal Abdel Nasser and Saudi Arabia's King Feisal, leader of the Middle East's conservatives. When Nasser-financed newspapers in Lebanon attacked Feisal, Saudi and Kuwaiti sheiks yanked $30 million out of Intra in one month. On top of that, Lebanon's three-year-old central bank fumbled its chance to prevent the crisis. Asked to help Intra, the bank stalled...
