In a nation only a third larger than Texas and quite a bit bleaker, that is a considerable expansion, even if it will not by itself cure Egypt's terrible poverty. Egypt's 27 million inhabitants-twice as many as when Nasser was born 46 years ago-are crammed into a mere 4% of the land.

After several such wearings, most gloves begin to go limp, soon acquire wrinkles and creases no cleaner can cure. One Way Out. But, astonishingly enough, there is hardly a woman who would be caught dead without gloves. Why? Largely because of etiquette. Even as "bold" and "modern" a social arbiter as Amy Vanderbilt, who last year went so far as to sometimes permit picking up chicken bones by hand...
