...Paris at week's end, Farah Diba was in full flight from reporters and photographers, refused to answer any questions. A foresighted newsman who had boarded her Paris-bound plane at Geneva asked her, "Will you be the next Queen of Iran?" Replied Farah, with an air of someone who knows a secret, "Ah, do you think...
...current blacklist, drawn up in Cairo, names 48 American firms. Included are Empire Brushes Inc., Kaiser Industries Corp., Dow Chemical Co. and Plough Sales Corp., because they have branches or agencies in Israel. Individual Arab countries have their own blacklists, which are even more capriciously kept. Philco radios and air conditioners were banned in Saudi Arabia even after the firm's name was removed from the Arab League blacklist.

Spat Castro: "The three musketeers have fallen...

He admitted to the FBI that he had written the pamphlets (calling Castro "the real traitor of the revolution") and flown the rented DC-3 out of an airstrip "near Miami." Searching the books to determine whether Diaz Lanz had violated any law, the U.S. took note that there are 280 airstrips in Florida. The U.S. asked the Inter-American Peace Commission, troubleshooting arm of the Organization of American States...
