...Sunday afternoon, Nixon will leave for Jerusalem, where the President will have the job of assuring the new government of Premier Yitzhak Rabin, one of Nixon's favorite ambassadors while he was serving in Washington from 1968 to 1973, that the U.S. still supports Israel despite its new friendship with the Arabs.

In Australia, Prime Minister Gough Whitlam was forced to call new elections this week. In Japan, meanwhile, Premier Kakuei Tanaka seems to be slipping steadily in public opinion and within his Liberal Democratic Party...
