Numeiry's stance underscored the deep-rooted resistance in Arab lands to Communist ideology, as distinct from Soviet aid (TIME, Aug. 9). Egypt, for example, relies almost totally on Moscow for military equipment, including some sophisticated Soviet aircraft-a handful of MIG-235 and about 20 SU-11s the hottest planes in the Russian air force. Even so, President Anwar Sadat told a closed session of his Arab Socialist Union two weeks ago that Egypt would never become Communist, would never recognize an Arab Communist government and would continue to resist Communism throughout the Arab world.

When things were slow, he would take on all comers on an obstacle course that began on the first tee and then angled across a railroad crossing, down a gravel road and through...
...become an Anglican priest. She lived through London's bombing raids and moved to the U.S. in 1948. Her commitment to matters political in part reflects the concerns of her husband, Writer Mitchell Goodman, who last year, along with Dr. William Spock, was convicted for urging students to resist the draft. But Levertov's most recent verse has been increasingly personal, an austere mixture of poise and passion...
