Then there are those scholars who not only bring their lives to Widener but, in fact, find it difficult to separate the two. Whether or not he "tries to become an American" next year, Fawzi Abdulrazak, a native of Iraq, will continue to work in the library. He must because Widener, where he edits the annual bibliography of Arabic historical writings, is what he calls "my country." Neither his classes at B.U. where he is working towards a masters in African history, nor his work as an Arabic specialist at the near Eastern Studies Center, serves as such faithful reminders...
...refused to come home as a protest against the imprisonment of his brother by Nasser on charges of handing over state secrets to the CIA. Mustafa Amin was recently freed on Sadat's orders, together with a number of political prisoners. Among them was former War Minister Mohammed Fawzi, jailed in 1971 for allegedly attempting to overthrow Sadat...

They included former Vice President Ali Sabry, whose dismissal by Sadat three weeks ago began the whole battle for control, as well as Gomaa and former War Minister General Mohammed Fawzi and ex-Minister for Presidential Affairs Sami Sharaf.

Most of the other...
Unlikely Survivor. The same afternoon, General Fawzi tried to enlist the tough commander of Egypt's Saiqa (Thunderbolt) Special Forces troops, Major General Mohammed Husseini Shazli, in a coup attempt. It was to have begun shortly after the joint resignations of Fawzi, Sharaf and three other ministers were to be announced on the radio news. Though Shazli was supposed to take over Cairo and arrest Sadat, in fact he did nothing. (Later, he too was rewarded, with an appointment as army chief of staff.) When the resignations were announced on the air, anti-Sadat demonstrators were expected to pour...
