...Six-Day Tour. President Valery Giscard d'Estaing, who is scheduled to begin a six-day U.S. tour next week, surely did not care to be reminded of the growing strength of the French left, and Schmidt's remark about "old forms and old attitudes" could hardly have pleased him. When he took over the Elysee Palace almost exactly two years ago, Giscard hoped to bring about in his seven-year term a smooth transition from the encrusted look that French politics had assumed after 16 years of Gaullist domination...
...Peking, in addition to supplying an undisclosed amount of military hardware to Cairo, will provide $50 million worth of strategic raw materials for Egyptian industry and boost Sino-Egyptian trade from $450 million in 1975 to more than $600 million this year.

Israeli defenders shot it down with a ground-to-air missile. In 1973 a Libyan airliner flying from Benghazi to Cairo lost its way because...

The one million Arabs of the Gaza Strip and the West Bank who suddenly found themselves under Israeli rule after the Six-Day War have no question about their identity; they are Palestinians. But for the Arabs living within Israel's pre-1967 borders as Israeli citizens?a community that has grown from 150,000 in 1948 to nearly half a million today?there has been a continual tug of loyalties that exploded...
