...April, leftist students threatened to "assassinate" Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey with pudding, flour and paint. A few weeks later, youthful demonstrators cursed the country's President to his face. This month, students exploded smoke bombs in the path of the Shah of Iran. The scenario sounded like a rerun from Berkeley, but the setting was a long way from California -or any other hotbed of U.S. student agitation. It was West Germany...
...immediate cause of the Bonn confrontation was the fatal shooting of Student Benno Ohnesorg, 26, during the anti-Shah rioting. His death by a police bullet has elevated him to martyrdom; the New Left now talks of him the way angry West Germans talked of Peter Fechter, who was killed by East German border guards at the Berlin Wall five years ago. West Berlin's police chief (since furloughed) hardly helped matters when he called the anti-Shah crowd "a liverwurst . . . You press it in the middle to squeeze it out at the end." To the distress...
...Arab camp for this week's cover story was done by TIME'S Beirut bureau chief, Lee Griggs, who during the past year has had long interviews with Egypt's President Nasser, Jordan's King Hussein, Saudi Arabia's King Feisal and the Shah of Iran.

...Feisal of Saudi Arabia as an "Anglo-American agent" who is "like a snake seeking to bite." He dismissed King Hussein of Jordan as "an employee of the CIA." Classifying his foes under the Communist label of "imperialistic stooges," he also called President Habib Bourguiba of Tunisia and the Shah of Iran "only the tools of America." He accused members of the federal government of Aden of being "traitors and agents" and called upon them to resign and do penance. Traveling further afield, he claimed that West Germany, which he does not recognize, is "subjected to America." Then...
...blunt Nasser's thrust, King Hussein of Jordan went to Teheran last week for talks with the Shah of Iran. This week King Feisal, the leader of the more moderate Arab regimes, goes to London to make a plea for more arms aid. "We are obliged, however reluctantly, to defend ourselves," says Feisal, whose country is also infiltrated with pro-Nasser terrorists and has been bombed by Egyptian planes. The British are helping Feisal strengthen his army and build an air defense system. In London, he is expected to ask the British to refrain for the moment from giving...
