The Israelis told Helms that since the Soviets are moving inexorably southward toward East Africa and the Indian Ocean, establishing a naval presence and setting up ports of call and repair facilities, friendly nations such as Israel ought to be included in Western defense planning. On that basis, the Israelis argue, arms shipments ought to be determined according to strategic priorities, and not be subject to the more local pressures of the Arab-Israeli conflict...

The speculative explosion that tore through the banks and bourses two weeks ago demonstrated that permitting the system to lurch from one upheaval to another is no longer a workable policy. The world's financial and political leaders have two choices. They can unite on basic updating and reform of the rules that have promoted the free exchange of goods, tourists and money across national borders. Or they can retreat to competing nationalistic policies...
