COVER: MIDDLE EAST: DANGER! Highly Explosive! Exclusive: A talk with Israel's Premier LEVI ESHKOL.

TOP OF THE WEEK:
ESHKOL ANSWERS NASSER: Newsweek Senior Editor Arnaud de Borchgrave is no stranger to the Middle East. He began covering that area in the early 1950s when he was the magazine's Paris bureau chief. And he was at the front with Israeli Army units during the June 1967 war. Two weeks ago, de Borchgrave scored a major Mideast newsbeat when he obtained an exclusive interview with Egypt's President Gamal Abdel Nasser -- an interview that made front-page headlines around the world. "When I first mentioned the idea of a Nasser interview to one of his aides," de Borchgrave reported later, "he smiled indulgently and shook his head. But I was persistent, pointing out that the publication of such an interview in the first few days of the Nixon Administration might help promote better relations between our two countries. When I was finally ushered in to see Nasser, he was remarkably relaxed. He offered me a fruit juice and a cigarette, which he lit for me. I took down his answers in longhand and later he asked me to make only two minor changes."

Afterward, de Borchgrave flew to Rome, then to Israel, where last week he and Newsweek's Michael Elkins interviewed Premier LEVI ESHKOL (page 49). "Eshkol was easier and harder -- easier to get to, harder to interview," de Borchgrave said. "He was discursive, sometimes harking back to events 2,000 years old."

While in Egypt, de Borchgrave found time to tour the country and to report firsthand on the alarming growth of Soviet military and political influence there and throughout the Mediterranean world. His files, and a report from Elkins on the Israeli Army's inner workings, are part of this week's cover package (page 43). Also contributing to the coverage were Beirut bureau chief Milan J. Kubic, who appraises the Arab mood, and State Department correspondent Henry Trewhitt, who analyzes the latest Big Four attempt to defuse the Mideast powder keg.

MR. NIXON LOOKS ABROAD: Richard Nixon set his fledgling Administration on the wing last week in the field he prides himself on knowing best: foreign affairs. He announced he would fly to Europe for talks with U.S. allies and the Pope, and he hinted that the trip was in part a prelude for what he hopes will be a "well prepared" summit with Soviet leaders later (page 27). He also built new bureaucratic machinery that, using the interagency committee structure in which he finds special advantages (page 28), put the levers of foreign-policy control more firmly in the White House than ever before.
