Translation: he must make way for an ambitious, younger rival. The rival: Amin Hafez, 42, Syrian commander in chief and a top party leader, who took over as Premier. As a prelude to his swearing-in, jets whooshed overhead in salute-and to discourage any possible trouble...

Nasser was further irked by Akhbar's juicy coverage of Cairo society divorces. Against this formula, the official...
...twins' real trouble, however, began when Nasser-despite his reservations about Akhbar-chose Mustafa Amin to accompany him to the U.N. last fall. This deeply offended Government Watchdog Shaker, who had counted on the trip for himself. Setting out to undermine the Amins' popularity with their employees, Shaker told Akhbar's printers that they should no longer submit to the twins' "capitalistic exploitation" and grandiosely promised all staffers a 40% pay raise...
