...obtaining the settlement, Bunker made three trips to Saudi Arabia and held "extensive talks" with President Gamal Abdel Nasser in Cairo. Giving force to Bunker's arguments was the basic policy decision of the Kennedy Administration to back the pro-Nasser Yemeni republicans against the feudal royalist tribes. This decision was undoubtedly conveyed, tactfully, to Saudi Arabia's Premier Prince Feisal by Bunker. Unquestionably, Nasser was also told that there is a limit to his expansionist drive in the Middle East, and that the U.S. unalterably opposes his stirring up trouble in other Arab countries. Uppermost in Washington...
...together the Dutch-Indonesian settlement that handed West Irian to Indonesia's Sukarno. Last week the United Nations announced that the parties embroiled in the Yemen civil war had accepted Bunker's proposal for a U.N. observer team with a double job. It will make sure that Saudi Arabia ends its support of the royalist tribesmen fighting to restore Imam Mohammed el Badr to the throne he lost seven months ago, and also that Egypt's 28,000-man expeditionary force pulls out as promised...
Five times a day for the past 30 years, thin, threadbare Sheik Shakhbut bin Sultan faced west, bowed low, and prayed for an oil strike.

Meyer's discussion of competition between Israel and Egypt in extending technical and economic aid to sub-Saharan Africa touches on the Arab-Israeli conflict, but it covers only a minor facet. The Review ignores Jordan, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, the oil sheikdoms, and the Arab states of western North Africa, which are culturally, religiously, and politically--if not geographically--a part of the Middle East. No magazine could cover all of these countries in a single issue; the Review ignores all of them and deals with problems...
...week's end Cairo Radio was spreading word of a cease-fire by mutual agreement in rebellion-torn Yemen. It said that Saudi Arabia was prepared to stop supplying the royalists supporting ex-Imam Badr with money and munitions, while Nasser may withdraw a token contingent of his 28,000-man Egyptian expeditionary force by April 20. Though Nasser's broadcasters are not the most reliable sources in the world, things may well come to this, for without doubt Jordan and Saudi Arabia-and all other Arabs-are becoming increasingly anxious to avoid angering Nasser...
