...Moscow, Premier Aleksei Kosygin welcomed a delegation sent by Egypt's Gamal Abdel Nasser. The Egyptians were seeking more weapons-which Moscow is reluctant to give them-and a forthright Russian rebuff of the U.S. peace terms for the Middle East that Secretary of State William Rogers made public last week. They included Israeli withdrawal from Sinai and some form of multinational government for Jerusalem in exchange for Arab peace guarantees by the Israelis. Though the plan seems to offer the Egyptians favorable terms, Cairo rejected it, accusing Washington of trying to divide the Arabs. Moscow, however...
...Rome, 1,500,000 persons-half of the capital's population-had been stricken, including Premier Mariano Rumor. In Milan, the disease affected one person in three, including 1,000 streetcar drivers and 330 policemen. City halls and law courts closed down, and pharmacies rationed medicines. In Turin, a third of the municipal employees were absent, and so was the city's entire squadra mobile, the elite police squad normally called out in emergencies. Two-thirds of the 1,000 residents of the tiny Tyrrhenian island of Ventotene were ill, including the only doctor...

They were exchanged for 13 Syrians held by the Israelis, including two pilots who had accidentally flown their Syrian Air Force MIG-17s into Israel 16 months ago. In an emotional scene at Lydda airport, Premier Golda Meir hugged and kissed the two returnees. The following day, Major Nissim Ashkenazi, a top combat pilot shot down over Egypt in August, and Captain Giora Rom, whose Mirage jet was hit in September, were traded for 52 Egyptian civilians, five soldiers and one air force pilot. After Ashkenazi...
...presence of the Chinese highwaymen, along with two infantry battalions equipped with antiaircraft guns who came along to protect the work crews, has alarmed Laotian Premier Prince Souvanna Phouma, who has always treated his northern neighbor cautiously. Fearful of a violent reaction from Peking should he protest, the prince at first ignored the road builders, rationalizing that a fuzzy 1962 aid agreement with Peking may have authorized a route as far as Muong Sai after all. But the new spur into the Beng Valley (see map), he told TIME, was "another affair." When the government asked the Chinese to explain...
