Margaret rode out the shock of the divorce announcement in seclusion in London's King Edward VII Hospital, where she was treated for gastroenteritis and hepatitis. Roddy was in Tangier, accompanied-or so said the tabloids-by an unnamed blonde. Lord Snowdon, who now lives in a Kensington town house, appeared briefly to tell reporters stiffly: "I hope you will give support and encouragement to Princess Margaret when she comes out of the hospital and goes about her duties again." One paper acknowledged his own new personal status by flashing a front-page picture of "the girl Snowdon...
...comfort and convenience. The first one, however, involved an important and secret diplomatic mission. TIME has learned that the reason for Dayan's mysterious disappearance and his unscheduled return to Israel was a rendezvous with Morocco's Hassan II at the King's summer palace in Tangier.

At his new home in Tangier, Mostert told TIME last week...
THIS KIND OF Lotus-eaters imagery deludes many Westerners into viewing the East as lush, exotic, and unique. On the ferry from Algeciras to Tangier it's easy to become engrossed admiring the approaching scenery and to ignore one's fellow passengers--dispirited, unromantic, impoverished North African laborers. It's tempting to affect an eighteenth-century gentleman merchant's self-esteem when brought mint tea and invited to inspect carpets and bolts of silk in a Moroccan bazaar. But the rotting garbage in the streets is probably more typical of the real East. And to queries about the nature...
