...foreign professors who remained in Amman during the war but has since been evacuated, I was much impressed by the accuracy and fairness of your account. I have talked with dozens who eyewitnessed various phases in Jerusalem, Beirut and Egypt from the Arab side. Everything you said correlates, and I was happy to see King Hussein get due but not excessive credit for his heroic synthesis of conflicting loyalties.

Seymour was the announcer who, in Orson Welles's famous 1938 radio drama, "War of the Worlds," terrified listeners with realistic bulletins on Martian invaders...
