Angered when the unruly Parliament forced the resignation of his Prime Minister Samir Rifai, King Hussein dissolved it and ordered the arrest of ten pro-Nasser Deputies. As caretaker Prime Minister, during the four months before new national elections, the King picked fat, easygoing Sherif Hussein ibn Nasser, 66, who is Hussein's great-uncle, is also married to Hussein's aunt, and-despite his name-no relation to Egypt's Nasser...
...With a fat $150,000 to spend on La Scala's new production of Aïda, Director Franco Zeffirelli soared off into Cinerama dreams of Oriental glory.

But after their chores are done, and the cotton is safely off to the gin, the geese themselves can always be peddled to help pay for the loss...
...head sticks up like the little bald ball on top of a flagpole. His nose and his chin all but meet in front of his mouth, as though trying to hiri-d-and well they might. His mouth is a little round hole that looks as if a big fat worm lived down there-and one does. Beneath the comic mask is a tragic figure: Capannelle has a tapeworm and no teeth...
