Exhibits of Despotism. As for the vaunted Russian aid, Dulles pointed out that the Russian figures are misleading, since the Russians count trade in their totals, e.g., the money they pay Egypt for its cotton and Syria for its wheat.

This could be compared with the $300 million Russia claims to be giving Syria over the next five years.

The lab runs an impressive variety of tests like those for any human patient: urinalysis ($5), complete blood count ($5), vaginal smears (three for $10). X rays are used for both diagnosis and treatment. The operating room is a scale model of any good hospital o.r., with sterilizers, surgical instruments, anesthesia gear and oxygen supply. One permanent staff member lives in a sheltered outdoor kennel. A young male greyhound...
