...Nasser's predicament that he must continually talk of war and show himself in action against Israel in order to retain the confidence of militant Arabs and, more crucially, of his own army. At the same time, it is doubtful whether he could long remain in power if he led the Arabs into another round and lost. He no longer shares power in Egypt with General Abdel Hakim Amer, who committed suicide?or so the government said?after the 1967 war, and so Nasser could not again place the blame for defeat on the army. Since...
...years, 274 Israeli soldiers and 48 civilians have died, and 1,343 Israelis have been wounded at Arab hands, and the country is under almost daily attacks that all the Israeli retaliation strikes have not been able to still. In their cafes and kibbutzim, Israelis, too, talk of a fourth round?while disparaging the Arab "war propaganda" as designed only to frighten the big-power diplomats. Within what they consider Fortress Israel, the Israelis regard with deep suspicion any outside attempt to bargain away the occupied territories that provide them with a measure of security, if not of peace...

He wandered through a set that seemed to have been plucked from a haunted harbor on San Francisco Bay. If the fog spewing out of the NBC special-effects machine looked at times as if it were going...
Indiscreet Talk. Last week's decision outraged many of Germany's trading partners, who saw it as a shortsighted and selfish maneuver that threatens their own economies. The French are bound to feel that the Germans are trying to force them into devaluing just after their June 1 presidential elections. The British rightly fear that their fragile pound will come under renewed speculative attack. Britain's foreign debts far exceed its reserves of gold and foreign money, and sterling may be able to cling to its $2.40 rate only if international creditors give the British more time...
