...King Feisal, who deposed him in 1964, that he's not welcome in his homeland. In Greece, where he now hitches his camel, the 67-year-old monarch could not even summon a smile when his daughter, Princess Apta, 23, presented him with a new grandson named Abdul Aziz. There was good reason for Saud's glumness: he already has supported countless ex-wives, 45 sons, 46 daughters and perhaps 100 grandchildren...

Last week his Foreign Minister, Abdel Aziz Bouteflika, was off on a recruiting tour of Africa's west coast.
