...expelling the guerrillas from Jordan, the plucky little King (or P.L.K., as he is fondly known in some quarters) became an Arab pariah. Hussein was ignored at conferences, slighted when oil subsidies were handed out, finally humiliated at the Rabat summit of 1974, where he was stripped of the right to represent West Bank Palestinians (who still hold Jordanian citizenship) in future peace negotiations with Israel. Instead the Palestinians were given the right to negotiate over the status of Palestinian territory on the West Bank and in Gaza. Arafat meanwhile was lionized. He took his "guns and olive branch" liberation...
...will have serious consequences. The government cannot allow organizations, whoever they are, to take the law into their own hands." Unofficially, however, the government is leery of taking on the Catholic Church, particularly after the international uproar about the Soweto rioting.

To some zealots who swear by the honor code, the very fact that a cadet is accused of wrongdoing is reason enough to condemn him -a situation that shows how a system designed to develop honor can be warped to foster dishonor...
...Republican delegates, basically the same kind of conservatives who nominated Barry Goldwater in 1964 and only grudgingly accepted Richard Nixon in 1968, would give their nomination to a Democratic turncoat. It seemed far more unlikely that the Republican Convention would move to Vice President Nelson Rockefeller, still a pariah to the party's dominant right wing. Yet Rockefeller will control most of the huge New York delegation (154 delegates, making up 7% of the convention's votes), and he might even be able to determine the outcome. No one knows what he might ask for in return...
