...Nasser fills the earth with plots and corruption," answered King Hussein in a broadcast. "His voice and his radios rave both morning and night like one stricken with fever." Hussein's radio labeled Nasser the "new pharaoh," "Communism's first agent in the Middle East . . . pilgrimaging to his Mecca in Moscow time after time," and Bedouin signs proclaimed, at parades honoring the King: "Hussein is the son of the Prophet, Nasser the son of a postman...
...last week fevers on both sides abated, proving once again that the shifting politics of the Middle East can make the best of bedfellows transients, or the worst of enemies useful, in short order.

Wearing only a pair of white toreador pants and a pair of suede chukka boots, Dan Lamore, 31, was gaudy enough. But his bow was the real eye stopper: a 54-in. monster made of fiber glass and maple, which required a force of 250 Ibs. to be shot at full power...
