The flakes that Jamie Wyeth created in October have been waiting around...

Dressed in the long, flowing arbayas of Bedouin chieftains, Saudi King Khalid, Crown Prince Fahd and Prince Abdullah sat in a sumptuous lounge at Riyadh International Airport last week and awaited their royal guests. One by one, special jetliners landed, carrying the rulers of the five Persian Gulf nations that, along with Saudi Arabia, constitute the Gulf Cooperation Council (G.C.C.).* Fahd and Abdullah emerged onto the shimmering tarmac to greet each arriving sheik and sultan, then escorted him in to meet the King. While white-robed Saudi national guardsmen, armed with machine guns...
