Unanswered Questions. Perhaps the two men will, but the questions raised by the Pueblo incident will remain. One of the most difficult is what should be done about the Military Code of Conduct. In the wake of the forced confessions of the Pueblo crew, many now think that the code is worthless when applied under cold war conditions. However, S.L.A. Marshall, the military historian and retired general who was one of the chief architects of the code, says that a false conclusion is being drawn. Writing in a recent New Leader, he argues that the code actually requires prisoners...
Hussein's dilemma is a vivid lesson to any country that might let the fedayeen operate within its borders. Nonetheless, the most peaceable Arab land of all, Lebanon, is being inexorably drawn toward the same fate. Three weeks ago, its government resigned in the wake of riots by Palestinians and students demanding freedom of action for the fedayeen.

Within twelve hours after his resignation in the wake of a referendum vote against his policies, workmen had moved his artifacts and files from the Elysee Palace. The presidential communication lines to Colombey were cut, and the other trappings of his office?except for a secretary, a bodyguard and a chauffeur, to which he was entitled along with...
...April 25. I get up and shave with [Columbia President] Grayson Kirk's razor, use his toothpaste, splash on his aftershave, grooving on it all. I need something morale-building like this, because my revolutionary fervor takes about half an hour longer than the rest of me to wake up." Arrested and riding to jail surrounded by deadly earnest radicals, Kunen busies himself trying "to work a cigarette butt through the window grate so that I can litter from a police bus." Whimsically, he records his dutiful trip to Washington in June "for the rich people's march...
