...heaviest blow to Egypt, though, was the loss of its "golden soldier" and Chief of Staff, Lieut. General Abdel Monem Riad, the most highly regarded officer in any Arab country.

He is probably Italy's richest man and heaviest taxpayer-and he is, as well, an articulate social critic with a healthy appetite for life.

The Agnellis have a couple of palaces and several retreats in the mountains and on the Italian Riviera. They travel among them in their own jet, helicopter and yachts. They socialize with the Henry Fords, Jackie...
