So far, Naguib, who outranks the others in years, prestige, personality and brains, has managed to keep the hotbloods pulling together; on crucial issues, he is boss. No officers accompany him to his almost daily private talk with his handpicked Premier, Aly Maher...

Conant 'has directed a great university to some of its most notable triumphs, has made the crucial decision to build the atomic bomb, and has become the most incisive defender of liberal education in the United States today. Inevitably he has also become the sort of public figures editors cherish for making news no matter what he speaks on. Conant is a familiar figure to periodical readers; to devotes of "Scientific American" he is known as a top-notch organic chemist, to the faithful of the "Boston Pilot" he appears...
