...President Nazem El-Koudsi, it was an old familiar tune. Coolly, he played for time, agreed to "consider" the demands if Nahlawi would negotiate at army headquarters. The talks dragged on for three crisis-filled days. Then, Koudsi mobilized his own forces, one night suddenly surrounded the army GHQ with armored cars. Colonel Nahlawi got the point. In another country, he and his men might have been jailed, or even executed for treason.

Stocking Feet & Black Cigar. On election night the GHQ swarmed with Kennedys and staffers. All the brothers and sisters-Bobby, Ted, Jean, Eunice and Pat-and their husbands and wives scurried about with news bulletins (Old Joe Kennedy and his wife watched the returns on TV in the "Big House'' near by); Brother-in-Law Peter Lawford manned the five wire-association tickers in his stocking feet. Press Aide Pierre Salinger, Chief Adviser Ted Sorensen, Scheduling Coordinator Kenny O'Donnell, Top Organizer Larry O'Brien and Pollster Lou Harris (working feverishly with past election records...
