Ahmed Shukairy, the fiery chief of the Egyptian-based Palestine Liberation Organization and a special Nasser guest in Khartoum, blasted right back, labeling Tunisian President Habib Bourguiba "a traitor to the Arab cause" for having advocated peace talks with Israel back in 1965. Furious, Slim stormed out of the conference hall. "There is no justification for Mr. Shukairy's presence," he told reporters. The arguments increased in intensity until Syria's Foreign Minister Ibrahim Makhous went on Khartoum television to announce that the whole conference was "a farce and a waste of time...
...downstage stool. Lady Macbeth has to pick up the stool and smash it to the floor in order to snap him out of his hallucination. The second time, the apparition has moved to the upstage throne. Macbeth, tormented by this vision, sees only one care; in a furious and frightening burst of violence, he overthrows the tables between him and it, and hurls himself into the kingly seat--an act of inordinate courage.

One fan even threatened civil disobedience. "If you bring a blown-up poster of this hideous thing into Concord, Mass.," he wrote, "you'd better send along a contingent of the National Guard." Fortunately...
Precise Estimates. Even after the visible debris of war has been cleaned up, the stain left on Arab pride by the furious events of last week may well remain for years. "Our estimates of the enemy's strength were precise," said Nasser in his postmortem. "They showed us that our armed forces had reached a level of equipment and training at which they were capable of deterring and repelling the enemy." The failure to do just that may sooner or later bring down Arab rulers all over the Middle East, and it will make the Arab dream of unity...
