OPEC's exercise of its new power for political as well as economic purposes is a strategy learned from the West, including the U.S. The wonder is that it has been so long in coming and that it has been exercised (so far) with comparative restraint. It is encouraging that the producer governments have been urging a cooperative solution of the "recycling" problem. In contrast, the tendency far too prevalent in this country has been to emphasize an adversary relationship, with an undertone of threat. For a great nation comparatively well off, this is as unbecoming...
Given the restraint, moral leadership and huge economic leverage of King Faisal stressed in your article, one is led to ask if Israeli leaders might not find in him the key to security and peace with the Arabs. If his terms are in fact no more than an implementation of Security Council Resolution 242, which Israel signed in 1967 along with Egypt, Jordan, the U.S.S.R. and the U.S., then evacuation of the territories occupied in the 1967 war could be the basis for Arab recognition of the right of Israel to exist behind recognized frontiers, and for a stable peace...

Beating the Cheat. Suggested strategies range from the Pauper's Attack (choose a property that pays off well with a minimum of investment and build early) to the Prince's Restraint (put everything into an expensive color group, preferably green). Sounding like Monopoly's J.P. Morgan, Brady suggests ways of driving competitors out of business by bluff, capital acquisition or snapping up cheap properties that will appreciate in value. Whether as paper realtors or real-life investors, players will profit from hardheaded sections on avoiding the mortgage morass, deferring bankruptcy and beating the cheat...
