...Line-Up. In such a showdown, Nasser could count on Algeria, Syria, Iraq and Sallal's part of Yemen-all more or less socialist, Soviet-armed regimes. Feisal would have on his side Western-equipped Jordan, Bahrain, the tiny sheikdoms of the Persian Gulf, and perhaps Morocco, Tunisia and Kuwait. Non-Arab Iran, whose Shah despises Nasser, would probably aid Feisal enthusiastically. Anxious to remain neutral are Lebanon, Libya and the Sudan. But it may never come to a showdown. The meeting around a fire...
...vice-presidency. "You could accomplish more in the executive branch," he said. "You could accomplish more with a telephone call." Yet he has already shown signs that he will be a far more influential Senator than Jack, whose most memorable accomplishments in the upper house were his Algeria speech and a bill to correct union abuses that was incorporated into the Landrum-Griffin Act.

Directed by France's gifted Francois Truffaut (Jules and Jim) and blessed by the presence in the leads of Julie Christie and Oskar Werner, Fahrenheit is a Ray Bradbury story that takes a disturbing look at a future world in which the printed word is forbidden and every last book...
...Southeast Asia, and threatened world war. What America should do is withdraw from the battlefield now with honor, "an act of renouncing," he said, that would not "injure [the U.S.'s] pride, interfere with its ideals, or prejudice its interests." After all, France did the same thing in Algeria, he pointed out -but failed to mention that the Algerian war involved no alien aggression like Hanoi's. The U.S. would be all the more advised to quit Viet Nam, he argued, because neither side will ever be able to win a military victory. The only solution, De Gaulle...
