...obsolescent British Lightnings of 1950s vintage. Their navy consists of a converted U.S. Coast Guard cutter, three Jaguar-class PT boats and a few other bits of flotsam and jetsam. When they look south, the Saudis are alarmed by the rising Soviet influence across the Red Sea in Ethiopia, where there are now 16,000 Cuban soldiers supporting the leftist regime in Addis Ababa, and about 1,000 Russians. The Marxist regime of South Yemen, which has occasionally made raids across the Saudi border, has an army of 20,000, backed by 500 to 1,000 Cubans and a small...

...living under a Fascist regime which grew more anti-Semitic by the week. He graduated as a Dottore in Architettura in 1940; and on his diploma, awarded in the name of Victor Emmanuel III, King of Italy, King of Albania and (thanks to Mussolini and his bombers) Emperor of Ethiopia, was written "Steinberg Saul... di razza Ebraica "(of the Jewish race). "It was some kind of safeguard for the future, meaning that although I was a dottore I could be boycotted from practicing, since I am a Jew. The beauty for me is that this diploma was given...
