...office. A word from him, and a journalist or foreign businessman gets an interview with the U.A.R. President. When a research employee was jailed for reporting critically on Egypt's economy, Heikal not only got the man freed and the report released but also forced Intelligence Chief Amin Huweidi to write a letter-to-the-editor explaining why he had tried to suppress the report in the first place. Lamented Huweidi later: "Centers of power are supposed to have been abolished, but one big power center obviously remains." Even Heikal's detractors readily concede that next to Nasser...
Baothist Brinksmen. Most Syrians are fed up with the Baathists and tired of the endless propaganda barrages. Both at home and abroad, the trio of ruling Baathist generals, led by Salah Jadid, find themselves with more foes than just the Israelis.

Nasser's government claimed that Amin, a longtime confidant of Nasser before his arrest, met Odell regularly to divulge information on such matters as Nasser's relations with his Vice President and with...
...goods on Amin, the police planted intelligence agents among his servants and bugged his two apartments and his black Buick limousine. When they arrested the portly publisher 13 months ago, during a lunch with Odell in Amin's seaside villa, the police claimed that they found 20 pages of Odell's handwritten notes on a table near by. Odell was released because of his diplomatic immunity, and immediately flew back to Washington "for reassignment." "I am innocent," Amin insisted last week.
