Feisal and Nasser sat alone together at the head of the table and dined off gold-rimmed plates. Away from the banquet table things went equally well. In less than 48 hours the two Arab potentates reached full agreement, thus enabling Nasser to leave on schedule for his current visit to the Soviet Union. The announcement was made in the chandeliered main hall of the palace, where the marble floor is carpeted in green-the color...
