Goodbye with Tanks. Within the Legion a group of anti-British nationalists formed, similar to the "Free Officers" clique that overthrew Egypt's King Farouk. They found allies against Glubb in Premier Rifai and in Queen Mother Zaine, who has been collecting a $280,000 annual subsidy from Saudi Arabia's King Saud to work against the British position. Last week, with nationalist sentiment running high, the officers forced the young King to choose between General Glubb and his own throne...

I think it is disgraceful that Moral Re-Armament's The Vanishing Island should have been allowed to be put on at the National Theatre of Nairobi-whose charter clearly states that nothing of a political flavour can be shown in it.
