Scott's superb sense of his audience and the self-satirical aspect of his humor not only save the senator from being a windbag, but enable him to establish an intimacy with his listeners. In small groups, he will expound on some subject for a while, suddenly realize that he is beginning to prattle, and punctuate his monologue with a quick self-deflating dig that endears him to his audience.

He engages in talks with the goatskin-clad poor who live in reed huts on the mud flats of Baghdad's Tigris river. He loses no opportunity to expound on the mystic ideals of "Arab brotherhood," and has even re-established politely formal relations with the U.A.R., whose rulers, not long ago, stood accused in Iraqi public opinion of having engineered the attempt to kill...
