...December 4, 1970, the U. N. Fact-Finding Team reported that it had conclusive evidence of Portuguese involvement in the invasion of Guinea. In the next article, we will deal with the subsequent actions of the European powers in the Security Council, the role of NATO in supporting Portugal and the hypocritical position taken by the United States in relation to African liberation movements...

Since the Arabs refuse to meet directly with Israel, Jarring is likely to shuttle between delegations. The site of the talks has not been settled. The Israelis would prefer Rome or Cyprus in order to be closer to Jerusalem for instructions. But Jarring will probably decide on New York. That could be an advantage: the farther from home all parties are, the slower...
