Almost as if it believed its own words, Cairo's semiofficial newspaper, Al Ahram, continued to accuse the U.S. of sending its planes to fight for Israel. Now the paper even claimed that the U.S. "planned and led" the attack. "Let no one think we will talk peace with the aggressors," bristled a Cairo newspaper editor. "The war is not over. We are preparing for the second round, and this time we will call the shots." To make sure he would do the shot calling, Nasser sacked his Prime Minister, named himself to the job, organized...
Bigger Toilet. In so new and competitive a market, the downturn is enough to try even the most persistent salesman. Rockwell-Standard Corp. President Willard F. ("Al") Rockwell Jr., whose well-diversified company (other lines: automotive parts and construction equipment) turns out the $600,000 Jet Commander, complains that too many companies are fighting over too few customers.

"Defeat exists only for those who admit it," said Cairo's semiofficial newspaper Al Gumhu-ria. "We do not admit...
Many Arabs were still convinced that their prime enemies are the U.S. and Britain-along with Israel. Al Ahram, Nasser's favorite newspaper, charged that the CIA goaded Israel to attack, and that just before the war the Pentagon shipped Israel 450 warplanes, 400 tanks and 1,000 pilots and navigators. Throughout the Islamic world, Moslem mullahs proclaimed American and British products unholy. Libyan mobs destroyed liquor stores as symbols of Anglo-American "imperialism," and King Idris demanded that the U.S. abandon its Wheelus Air Force Base. Egypt and Syria closed their ports to U.S. and British ships; Sudanese...
