...leftist, Nasser-leaning Crown Prince Mohammed al Badr when the Russians first moved in to build a $15 million Red Sea port at Hodeida in the feudal land. When Al Badr turned conservative in 1962 under Republican attack, the Soviets reversed themselves to back the opposition headed by Abdullah Sallal, built him an airport and 150 low-cost houses, promised $72 million more in various projects. None have even been begun, since Moscow is plainly worried that it may have switched to the wrong horse in midstream. All told, Moscow has offered $142 million in aid, and other Red nations...
...Yemenis themselves, have yet to be heard from. A hardy and hard-fighting race, with long memories for feuds and vendettas, it may take some talking before they will lay down their arms. Nasser can perhaps make the republicans do his bidding, even to dumping their ailing President, Abdullah Sallal, if necessary. But only the royalist princes, not Feisal alone, can dispose of Imam Badr. A possible compromise might lie in recognizing the Imam as a religious potentate without civil powers. But until the contending parties in Yemen reach agreement, the accord between Nasser and Feisal remains only a piece...
Hailed as "the greatest man in the world" by Yemeni President Abdullah Sallal, Nasser inspected "the battlefronts of freedom."

In a recent interview, Nasser allowed that he was now "very happy" with the Saudi Arabian regime. He will be even happier if the talks with Feisal end in a face-saving solution for the stalemate...
...other's throats were suddenly enveloped in each other's arms. Saudi Arabia's King Saud, who once spent $5,300,000 trying to procure Nasser's assassination, was embraced and kissed by the man he tried to kill. Yemen's pudgy President Abdullah Sallal sat genially beside his bitter enemies, King Saud and Jordan's King Hussein, who have invested money and munitions in seeking the overthrow of Sallal's regime...
Sick Rebel. One victim of the Yemen conflict is the man who started it all by overthrowing the Imam: ex-Palace Guard, now President and field marshal, Abdullah Sallal, 42. Last month Sallal flew to Cairo for talks with Nasser, but entered a hospital and was discharged for convalescence only last week. A physician who helped treat Sallal confided that he was suffering from a nervous breakdown. "President Nasser visited him once briefly. We gave him tranquilizers. We brought in Egypt's greatest comedian, Ismayen Yessin, to raise his spirits. We showed him movies. We flew in his wife...
