Most often Peking attacks Moscow indirectly. Thus Radio Peking last week broadcast a statement from the Australian Communist Party branding Russia's rulers as "the new czars. They have restored capitalism in Russia. Their armies occupy other countries, their navies roam the world in the direct tradition of imperialism." The statement might have been attributed to someone from Down Under, but Moscow was well aware that it reflected the thoughts of the people next door...

Hussein, in a postbattle press conference last week in the royal cinema of his Basman Palace in Amman, vowed that he would not abdicate. "I am not the type of person who can quit," he said. "This nation is part of me and I am part of it." But the King rules at the pleasure of the fedayeen, and his throne rests on the will of Fedayeen Leader Yasser Arafat as much...
