...took some quick lessons.) There are many lingering ethnic sensibilities on foreign affairs, notably the widespread Jewish sympathy for Israel and hostility toward the Arabs. New York's Mayor John Lindsay discovered this last June when Jewish objections impelled him to cancel a proposed luncheon in honor of Saudi Arabia's visiting King Feisal. But many such protests are carried on by professional ethnic champions who profess to speak for their people but are far from solidly supported. The press too perpetuates a great many ethnic cliches...
...Middle East heated up, Hussein began drafting all able-bodied Jordanians between 18 and 40, sent an urgent request to Washington to speed up delivery of 36 promised F-104 interceptor jets, and accepted help from the only Arab leader to come to his aid -Saudi Arabia's King Feisal, who offered to put 20,000 troops at Hussein's disposal. The United Nations last week got around to censuring Israel for the original attack, but that was small consolation for Hussein. Jordan's 350-mile border with Israel is just too long to screen, and more...
Widespread Repercussions. At its semiannual meeting in Kuwait, the Boy cott Office of the 13-nation Arab League (Algeria, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Syria, the United Arab Republic and Yemen) voted for a ban by all Arab countries on doing business with all three companies.

Attempting to head off an acute crisis, Bedas went to the government's Central Bank for a loan. There he ran up against old foes, and the loan was refused. Word of the refusal soon reached the leaders of Lebanon's bank employee union, who disliked Bedas for keeping the union out of Intra with high salaries. With...
...crackdown came at a time when the main contenders were digging in for a possible new showdown between the Saudi-supported royalists and the Nasser-linked regime. Though Nasser has pared his forces from 70,000 men to 40,000, he noisily threatens to attack the Saudi Arabian border towns supplying the royalists. For his part Saudi King Feisal is arming for more trouble. On top of a long-range $500 million arms package signed last December with the U.S. and Britain, Feisal recently signed an additional smaller arms deal with Britain, for 36 Thunderbird antiaircraft missiles and ten rocket...
