Kirk next refuted the author's claim that aspirations to Arab unity come from a lexicon of liberal foundations. By quoting speeches made by Nasser on several occasions during the past five years, he showed that the dictator's desire that Egypt spread "from the Atlantic Ocean to the Persian Gulf" is but the traditional Egyptian attempt to expand, now under the guise of Arab unity...
When Ambrose Usher first bubbled into print, London critics hooted happily that the model for the talkative detective was obviously brilliant, pudgy Sir Isaiah Berlin, Oxford don, author (The Hedgehog and the Fox), cross-country conversationalist and, during World War II, a first secretary at the British embassy in Washington.

...moving around. When I asked myself, 'What wouldn't I have done?' and made her do that, she finally got on her feet." Her intention as a writer: "To -fling myself into youth, to say this is how it was, these are my buddies." Currently, Author Dundy's buddies are those of Kenneth Tynan, witty young drama critic of the London Observer and Angry Young Man, who has been her husband since 1951. Tynan contributed the title and some advice: "Take out all the exclamation points." His wife took out most of them...
