Standoff. The meeting had been expected to produce a definitive declaration on the Eisenhower Doctrine by what the kept Cairo press likes to call the "free Arabs"-as opposed to the "kept Arabs" like the Iraqis, who belong to Western pacts. It did not. Nasser refused to accept the Eisenhower Doctrine on the plea that it had not yet been fully explained. Saud refused to condemn it. Result: no mention of the doctrine at all, except an oblique insistence that "the defense of the Arab world should emanate from the Arab nation...
Stronger Compulsion. "Any attempt to compel us to accept a miscarriage of justice and a system of discrimination," rasped Israel's shock-haired lawgiver, "will meet with our unflinching opposition."

"Teach me to face my hidden self," he prayed. "Open the windows of my subconscious closets and let in your...
...Texas had to be paid off before it moved, the resulting production boost will solve some problems for oil lifters. Jersey Standard Oil President M. J. Rathbone told a House committee that in order to get 1,365,000 bbl. of fuel oil for Europe, his buyers had to accept a tie-in deal from three refiners for 302,000 bbl. of "unwanted" gasoline. Yet so far, testified Rathbone, Jersey Standard has tailored its lift to Europe's needs, shipped 20 million bbl. of crude, only 431,000 bbl. of gasoline. Asked the probers: Was the recent boost...
