King Hussein did not stay locked in his palace. Once, he flew over the city in a helicopter. Another time he visited the airport where some 3,000 British paratroops represent his final bastion of strength. The young King rode in his bulletproof Cadillac surrounded by nine soldier-filled Land Rovers topped with machine guns. The motorcade sped through streets closed to all other traffic and along a route lined with Legionnaires armed with Tommy guns. As the King stood at attention watching a parade of red-bereted paratroops, a bomb went off in the city behind him-the seventh...
...Premier. Nor has he taken the moderate line of the inexperienced and earnest El-Kassim, who just wants to be friends with everybody. It was Aref who, on the day of the coup, incited the mobs to attack Nuri and the Crown Prince.

Young (31) Editor George Plimpton introduced himself to Hemingway in the bar of Paris' Hotel Ritz, spent two weeks watching bullfights with him in Madrid, later flew down to Cuba for long hours of talk in Hemingway's Finca Vigia home, broken by long hours in a fishing boat with the old man and the sea. The resulting interview has a refreshing flavor matched against the pedantic fuss-budgetry of critics in rival quarterlies. Sample...
