Tempting Target. Thus did Nasser, in a breast-beating May Day speech, serve notice last week that the 45-month-old battle for Yemen was entering a crucial new phase.

The French were sensibly proposing that instead of putting up purely experimental satellites, ELDO should orbit a paying payload, namely a communications satellite, which would require a bigger and more expensive vehicle.
