...little over two years ago, Egypt's Gamal Abdel Nasser convened the Arab world's first summit conference in Cairo, and managed to build a façade of "Arab Unity" against the common Israeli enemy. In a swirl of fellowship and flowing robes, Arab Kings and Presidents embraced as brothers, organized the Palestine Liberation Organization, set up a joint Arab military command, and created a committee to plan the diversion of Jordan River headwaters flowing into Israel's Sea of Galilee. The façade has been crumbling almost ever since, and last week with...
...something." On the tour, Nancy and Cliff spend all their spare time together, hew to strict training rules: up at 9 a.m., in bed by 11 p.m. Nancy has not had a date in eight months, and Cliff has abstained since January-but neither seems to miss the social swirl. "People tell us that tennis isn't everything," explains Cliff, "but to us it is.

Insect Sauce. Collegium and King together preside over a land that, for all its advantages, is not without problems. By far the most troublesome region is the northeast, along the porous Mekong River frontier with Laos. There, nearly a third of the kingdom's subjects live in a swirl of powdery red dust.

A large new military airstrip is under construction at Khon Kaen, and two strips are being readied to handle anything up to giant B-52 bombers. Not long ago, a 130-man U.S. Army Special Forces team quietly moved from Okinawa to set up headquarters at Lop Buri. If it ever comes to widening...
Roaring in unexpectedly from the Gulf of Mexico, a swirl of tornadoes cut across central Florida last week, killing ten persons, injuring 300 and causing $30 million worth of damage. Weather Bureau meteorologists were as surprised as the victims. They had predicted storms confidently enough, but their maps showed no sign of the ominous low pressure areas that usually accompany tornadoes. An official warning was not issued until half an hour after the first twister hit the Tampa-St. Petersburg area, a delay that was a devastating reminder of how little is known about the monstrous forces that produce...
