Even tougher is Feisal's able younger brother Prince Sultan, his 41-year-old Defense Minister, who recently demanded that Feisal fire fully 75% of the ministry workers for tardiness after the long hajj (pilgrimage) holiday this spring. As for anyone found taking a bribe, Sultan says he will personally demand...
