...Exodus, Aaron smote the waters of Egypt with his rod and the waters turned to blood. Across the U.S. in steamy midsummer, it seemed that at least a few of Pharaoh's plagues were descending-a reminder, if not of biblical wrath, then of nature's perplexing force...
...time, the Arab blacklist runs to some 600 corporations or individuals in 64 nations. Ford Motor Co. is on it for setting up an assembly plant in Israel despite the fact that there is another Ford subsidiary in Egypt, and Moviemaker Otto Preminger is on it for having made Exodus.

...shorthand: "Lou was a tall, thin man with a sleepy face whose dominating feature was seventy Sy Devore suits." The plot is interstitched with editorials, sermons and lessons in writing. On the latter subject one can hardly deny Uris his soapbox. He has always been a crude novelist. Yet Exodus is the sixth biggest bestselling novel of the century,* and QB VII, after wintering comfortably atop all the charts, is now second only to Exodus in the author's hardback sales...
