...Moment. Baroody is a mass of conflicting nationalities and interests. His family is half-Christian and half-Moslem; though he represents the most orthodox Moslem country in the world, he is a Christian. He can deliver anti-Western diatribes with as much vigor and vitriol as a 1950s Pravda editorial, yet he has an American wife and his four children received U.S. educations. A product of the American University in Beirut, Baroody has been a friend of King Feisal since their youth. He supervised the education abroad of the King's seven sons, and is reputedly adviser...

But to dress up and play soldier and to brand and label is uncalled for. Edwin Newman handled the situation with tact, and rather than let Mr. Jessel pretend to march, he took away his toy drum...
...proof of it," he reflected last week, "is rolling in from every direction. Pravda was uneasy, in a long article, about the U.S.-China rapprochement, fearing what effect it would have on U.S.-Soviet relations. Red China, through Chou En-lai's interview with the New York Times's James Reston, was uneasy about Japan, fearing it would turn into a nuclear nation, that it would swoop into Taiwan and Korea...
