...help from an unexpected source. The Russian Foreign Office suddenly announced that it shared President Eisenhower's conviction that the great powers should jointly seek Middle East peace through the U.N. Naturally the Russians had reasons of their own. They had been willing to help Egypt's Gamal Abdel Nasser with arms in order to create mischief, but pulled back when it seemed that the mischief might turn to war-a war that could get out of hand.
