Even if the Arab states should crack down, the fedayeen now have a powerful outside friend, China, which has offered them "full and unqualified support" and "volunteers" if needed. Last week China seemed closer still to getting a substantial foothold in the Middle East. The government of Syria, evidently angered at Russia's slowdown in arms deliveries, dispatched to Peking a delegation headed by Chief of Staff Major General Mustafa Tlas. One possible result of that mission would be an agreement to supply Syria with arms, thereby giving Peking its first substantial influence over a Middle East government...
...choose a good press in the world with many good things about an Israel that isn't here any more, or unfair criticism of an Israel that is still in existence, then I choose the latter. We were the people who were attacked. The attacked won the war. Certainly we would be much happier if the U.S., and other countries in the world, would see the situation as we do. I am convinced that every one of these countries in our position would act exactly as we are. I understand American interests. Not only as citizens of Israel...

What we ask our friends is, to my mind, a very simple thing: tell Nasser and Hussein, sit down with the Israelis, negotiate peace with them. For 20 years, we have tried everything.

...positive during the next. Even more remarkable, the overall solar magnetic field reverses near the peak of each cycle, the north and south magnetic poles trading places. This strange behavior may result from distortions in the magnetic fields caused by the sun's uneven rate of rotation; for still-unknown reasons, the equatorial regions rotate around the solar axis every 25 days, regions at higher latitudes every 33 days. This strange phenomenon is possible because the sun is a gaseous rather than a solid body...
...need no more than four hours-well before the deadly mainstream of protons arrives-to dock with the orbiting command module (whose walls provide protection equal to one-fifth of an inch of lead, more than enough to withstand any anticipated solar outburst). The art of solar forecasting is still so primitive, however, that many flare alerts could turn out to be false alarms...
