Description

Editor's Note: In a departure from our usual practice, the following story is wholly a work of fiction but based on a real Foreign Service situation known to the author. We include it not only because it is an interesting story but also one that illustrates well some of the competing pressures inherent in the Foreign Service Life. --The Editor In 1974 I was quietly working as a political officer at the U.S. embassy in Rabat. I had previously served in Jerusalem and Amman. I was fluent in the Arabic dialect spoken by the Palestinians. Over a several years period I had worked the Arab street in the region and got along well with Palestinian intellectual and political leaders. That wasn't exclusively because I'm such a swell guy; the Palestinians rightly attach great importance to having access to American diplomats. My political reporting in Jerusalem and Amman had gained me professional recognition and a couple of promotions; I had arrived securely in midcareer and was poised for bigger things. Rabat was a quieter place, and, after the intensity of my work at those other posts, it was a respite I had requested--primarily for family reasons.
