...reserves. Though he did not say so publicly, he was displeased by other developments. He had banned party politics; yet the Baath (socialist) party, the Commu nists and others went on politicking. Syrian Vice President Akram Hourani was acting more like a Prime Minister in Damascus than an executor of decisions taken in Cairo. Syrian Communists still published the newspaper Al Noor in Damascus, and embarrassed Nasser by pouring a reported 8,000 copies daily into neighboring Iraq...
...days after Young's death, the U.S. Supreme Court cleared the way for Young's planned revamping, and Alleghany common has risen almost 15%.

But the State Department first stalled, then denied Dr. Nathan his passport, vaguely letting it be known that there...
...again & again he left his comforts to ride into the nearby wilderness. There, this man with a deep sense of the past surveyed the land of the future. He was famed among his neighbors for a strict probity in business dealings, and again & again was asked to act as executor of estates and guardian of minors. Yet he was a gambler. He gambled at cards and on horses; his project to drain the Dismal Swamp (it is only partly drained to this day) was in a line of wild American land speculation that did not end with Addison Mizner...
