...that China will launch a war with Russia "somewhere between 1975 and 1980"-as soon as Peking has amassed a credible nuclear stockpile. The Soviets, Amalric's script continues, will look to Washington for help. But the U.S., Amalric says, will already have established some sort of modus vivendi with Peking. The war will be long and demoralizing. Moscow will have to withdraw troops from Europe, leading to the "desovietization" of the East Bloc...

Its aim: to unsettle the civilian population and sabotage the modus vivendi between Jews and Arabs in Je rusalem. After a protest strike by the Arab population, normal life returned to Jerusalem. But on the Israeli-Jor danian border, the military hostilities erupted anew. At week's end Israelis and Jordanians were peppering one another across the frontier with small-arms fire...
