Hailed as "the greatest man in the world" by Yemeni President Abdullah Sallal, Nasser inspected "the battlefronts of freedom." However many men he may lose, Nasser pledged, "their reward lies with God." Then he flew back to Cairo, where he was to discuss the Yemen conflict with Crown Prince Feisal, newly installed Regent of Saudi Arabia, Nasser's longtime archfoe. No longer. In a recent interview, Nasser allowed that he was now "very happy" with the Saudi Arabian regime. He will be even happier if the talks with Feisal end in a face-saving solution for the stalemate...
...plagued by bad breaks and hostility from local authori ties. The team's first commander. Swedish Major General Carl von Horn, had hardly set up headquarters in the mud-walled capital of San'a when his horse, being led down a dusty street, kicked a Yemeni government official, resulting in the arrest of both groom and horse. U.N. planes are regularly fired on (none has been downed so far), and last month a Russian-made Egyptian Ilyushin jet bomber attacking Najran inside Saudi Arabia nearly scored a direct hit on a U.N. platoon.

...Horn's next assignment: to head a new 200-man U.N. peace-keeping force in Yemen, designed to get Egypt and Saudi Arabia out of the Yemeni civil war. No sooner had Secretary-General U Thant announced the project than the Soviet Union called for a Security Council meeting this week, in an evident attempt to bring the Yemeni mission within range of the Russian veto...
...obtaining the settlement, Bunker made three trips to Saudi Arabia and held "extensive talks" with President Gamal Abdel Nasser in Cairo. Giving force to Bunker's arguments was the basic policy decision of the Kennedy Administration to back the pro-Nasser Yemeni republicans against the feudal royalist tribes. This decision was undoubtedly conveyed, tactfully, to Saudi Arabia's Premier Prince Feisal by Bunker. Unquestionably, Nasser was also told that there is a limit to his expansionist drive in the Middle East, and that the U.S. unalterably opposes his stirring up trouble in other Arab countries.
