...building anything. The Saudi King is anxious to bring Hussein and the relatively moderate Al-Fatah guerrillas together to negotiate a modus vivendi that will allow the fedayeen to continue their hit-and-run attacks on Israel. The P.F.L.P., however, will be pointedly excluded from any such parley. "We do not care for the Reds of the Popular Front," said a Saudi leader last week...
Evidently Moscow thought the 27-nation parley was more important than that. First the Russians tried to pressure Belgium into canceling it, calling the conference "an anti-Soviet provocation." When that failed, Moscow dispatched six men to Brussels; ostensibly they were well-assimilated Soviet Jews whose mission was to counter any anti-Russian remarks. In a news conference at the Brussels Press Club, the Moscow group contended that there was no official persecution or mistreatment of Jews in the Soviet Union. Later, in an interview with TIME'S Friso Endt, the group's ranking member, Colonel General David...
Stronger Throne. During the parley, Hussein and Allon conversed in Arabic and English. The opening topic was peace.

...positive factor for everybody would be a multinational peace conference whose aim would be a settlement embracing all of Indochina. The Soviets have opposed reconvening the 14 nation Geneva parley until the U.S. stops its bombing in Laos; the dangers posed by Sihanouk's departure from the scene could persuade them to drop their opposition. Hanoi, with its lifeline in Cambodia endangered, now has more reason to come to the bargaining table. A more remote possibility is that the Communist Chinese, whose foreign policy is no longer distorted by the lunatic frenzies of the Cultural Revolution, might be persuaded...
Sweig was named in the suit as having arranged a meeting last May between the SEC and representatives of the Parvin/Dohrmann Co., a manufacturer of hospital, restaurant and hotel equipment with interests in Las Vegas gambling operations. The purpose of the parley was to end the commission's ban on the sale of the firm's stock; six days later, the stop order was canceled. Subsequent investigation persuaded the SEC to bring the suit last week on charges that the price of Parvin/Dohrmann stock was being manipulated. The case raised the specter of high-level influence peddling through...
