...began with some remarks by Tunisian President Habib Bourguiba, who often says out loud what most sophisticated Arabs say only in private. Returning home from a Middle Eastern tour in which he visited the Jordanian refugee camps near Jericho, where 71,000 Palestinian Arabs have languished for 17 years, Bourguiba declared that it was obviously impossible to erase Israel from the map by force and that therefore it made sense to accept its presence. He proposed that the long-festering refugee problem be settled on the basis of the 1947 United Nations partition plan, which would require Israel...
...Talk. Meanwhile, up from obscurity popped former Congolese Premier Cyrille Adoula, who was replaced last July by Moise Tshombe. Writing in the left-wing Tunisian weekly Jeune Afrique, Adoula proposed that the Congo embrace the Gbenye regime and forgive the rebels their savagery. "Any solution that excludes the rebels," wrote Adoula, "would be illusory." This was odd talk from a man who had refused even to negotiate grievances with the rebels while he was in power.

Colombian tacos (75?) can be washed down with Philippine beer (70?), Ecuadorian banana dogs (50?) with Brazilian coffee (15?), Tunisian nougatine (45?) with Indian tea (free), North African bricka (65?) with Norwegian loganberry punch (40?). Although the Vatican has yet to provide a snack bar serving fish on Fridays, the American-Israel pavilion caters to Jewish dietary laws with kosher frankfurters and kosher Kola...
...Prospect. The Vatican daily L'Osservatore Romano said that the Tunisian settlement would open "a new era of cooperation between the Holy See and the Tunisian government," and that Rome had agreed to certain sacrifices "in a spirit of friendship toward a friendly people, with cordial esteem for the values of a rising nation." There was less joy in Tunisia. "Will we have Mass this Sunday?" one priest at the cathedral asked. "We don't know. But I do know this: the extent of the takeover has shocked Catholics here." They face the prospect of seeing their churches...
