...King's policy is neutrality in Arab affairs, cautious friendship with the West, hatred of Israelis and Communists. If Americans on the scene often think their motives are misunderstood, they can take some comfort in the fact that no other foreigner fares much better. An active Soviet embassy, with rooftop antennas obviously monitoring Wheelus' frequencies, is allowed to operate, but it shares the frustrations of the U.S. in trying to cope with Libya's fierce pride...
