Wisest thing to do now, Robert Hazo suggests, is open a new doortowards Moscow. Whatever music the U.S. and Israel want to dance to,it's best to remember that it takes two to tango, not four. Otherwise, our Middle East policy down the road might begin looking like something out of Edgar Allan Poe. Read our report on the new Saudi arms proposal and write a letter to your Congressman reminding him where the Constitution vests authority to make foreign policy. The new Soviet leadership seems serious about pushing their economy into high gear.

John Haldane gives you one guess where they'll go to get more. Arab American groups backed up the President's proposed arms sale to the Saudis with some strong arguments.

Like the young nation he represents, Qatar's Ambassador to the United States Abdelkader Braik AI Ameri has moved rapidly forward carrying along with him the best the past has to offer.
