...Ambassador is elderly (73), stout (200 Ibs. on a 5 ft. 10½ in. frame), genial-jowled, courtly and oracular in an oldtime way. He is no shaft of lightning in extempore debate. He can bumble well-meaningly as he did during the 1948 Israel crisis, when he urged disputatious Arabs and Jews to get together and "settle this problem in a true Christian spirit."

An airline hostess was sucked to a window, but her hips were wide enough to stick in the frame and save her from being popped like a cork into the empty air.* The pressure difference (only 2½ lbs. per sq. in.) was not great enough to extrude her completely.
