...TIME, Sept. 27). Both reveal a savage irony and a cold, implacable loathing for war-and for the species that causes it. In a sweep of severe, formal landscapes, The Round Up recounts the misadventures of roving Hungarian patriots in 1868. With mechanical authority, Austrian troops traverse the nation, rounding up the freedom fighters in an unending search for their leader. Even 100 years ago, captors were instinctively aware that mental anguish was far more effective than the knout or the noose. Alternating terror with false promises, the Austrians turn innocent men against each other. Betrayal becomes the order...
...outbursts of hostility. Like Arabs everywhere else, the Lebanese of course paid lip service and tithes to the Arab cause against Israel, but they were far more interested in commerce than in aggressive politics. The Beirut government dutifully declared war against Israel during last year's Six-Day War-and sent two fighters on a sortie southward toward Tel Aviv. When one was shot down, Lebanon happily withdrew from the campaign, its duty done...
...around the Cape of Good Hope. Faced with the prospect of dwindling profits from the waterway, Egypt began giving thought to building an overland pipeline as an alternate route for transmitting oil to the Mediterranean Sea. Then, when Israel came up with the same idea following the Six-Day War-and with the canal closed indefinitely-the race was on.

Bulldozers at both ends of the planned...
Last week Collingwood and his film arrived in New York City. What he had to tell about was eight days in North Viet Nam-the first visit by a U.S. network correspondent during the war-and the story of his scoop concerning Hanoi's willingness to start talks in Pnompenh (TIME, April 12). Part of his report was rushed onto the Cronkite supper-hour news last week; his footage was edited into a 60-minute special scheduled for this week...
There are now nearly 20,000 fedayeen in Jordan v. scant hundred or so before the war-and their ranks are swelling daily. Whereas all guerrilla operations used to be controlled by the disreputable (and now discredited) Palestine Liberation Army, there are at least halt dozen independent fedayeen organizations, most of them less interested in playing Arab politics (as was the P.L.A.) than in fielding effective guerrillas. The largest, and to all appearances the most dynamic, of them all is Asita (thunderstorm), the paramilitary arm of a broader political group named El Fatah, whose commandos call themselves storm troopers...
