Jerusalem Bureau Chief Donald Neff pressed Israeli Premier Yitzhak Rabin for his interpretation of the stalled Middle East negotiations, while Correspondents Wilton Wynn in Cairo and Karsten Prager in Beirut reported Arab views and reaction to Faisal's death. From Washington, Diplomatic Editor Jerrold Schecter and State Department Correspondent Strobe Talbott contributed to an analysis of how setbacks in Indochina and the Middle East may affect the future of the Secretary of State.
