For U.S. reporters who have been trying ever since the Suez invasion to find out who is running Syria, portly President Shukri el Kuwatly, 65, held genial open house.

What makes the latest edition, bound tastefully in a pleasing combination of gray and yellow, particularly delightful is the company's apparent concern (as expressed in the Preface) for our knowledge in how to dial.
