But any hopeful signs were overshadowed by a vituperative Israeli blast against the Administration's friends in Riyadh and by tough talk from the newly outspoken Saudis, who went so far as to suggest bringing the Soviet Union into Middle East diplomacy. Even Reagan's success in forging a warm, personal relationship with Hussein was less cheering than it might be: at the end of a visit to Washington, the Jordanian King surprised his host by disclosing that he had agreed...
Contradictory results in the two races suggest that if they were meant as a down-home test of Reagan's popularity, the nation is a house divided.
