He came to Qatab to work for peace, and finds himself in the employ of the CIA, which has photographs of him in various compromising positions and can black-mail him into anything.

...employ a natural converter to get energy directly from sunlight. Last week Cell Biologist Walther Stoeckenius, 54, with colleagues at the University of California at San Francisco and a team from NASA'S Ames Research Center, announced that a purple pigment found in red bacteria from the Dead Sea and salt flats round the world also directly converts sunlight into energy. While the pigment is less efficient than chlorophyll-only an estimated 10% of light energy is converted-it is more stable and easily extracted from the bacteria...

In addition to participating in a blacklist of countries doing business with Israel, the Saudi Arabian government has also required that corporations and government agencies entering into agreements with it not employ Jews for projects inside that country. At least four corporations and two government agencies are known to have complied with these restrictions: Ashland Chemical Co., Bendix Field Engineering Corp., Dresser Industries Inc. and International School Services, in addition to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the Overseas Private Investment...
