Steaming up the Adriatic aboard ex-King Farouk's former pleasure boat (now renamed Freedom), Egypt's President Gamal Abdel Nasser arrived last week at the beautiful Yugoslav seaport of Dubrovnik, accompanied by his wife, three sons and two daughters.

...hobble-de-hoyden Tuesday night romps on NBC-TV's Jack Paar Show, doughty Prattler Elsa Maxwell. 74. has merrily trampled and spiked the foibles, veneers and peculiarities of such vulnerable folk as Elvis Presley, Billionaire J.

In 1951 King Farouk presumptuously proclaimed himself "King of Egypt and the Sudan"; the Sudanese ignored him. During the Sudan's first parliamentary elections in 1953, the Egyptian army officers who overthrew Farouk dispatched Major Salah Salem to dance with the natives in his undershorts and ladle out a reported $5,000,000 trying...
