...Gaza at the Crossroads of Civilizations" at Geneva's Musée d'Art et d'Histoire is the first ever public show of Gazan antiquities. Its 530 artifacts, drawn chiefly from the vaults of private Palestinian collector Jawdat Khoudary and the Palestinian National Authority, depict a Gaza that was once at the nexus of trade routes and a meeting point of cultures. Today, at a time when rival Palestinian factions are gunning each other down, we learn that Gaza's early inhabitants were prosperous, practiced multiculturalists. On show are objects from several empires unearthed during the past two centuries...
...drawer schmoozing comes easily to Pachachi, who was weaned on politics. His father was a Prime Minister in the late 1940s, well before Saddam Hussein came to power. And Pachachi married the daughter of another former Iraqi Premier, Ali Jawdat. The couple met when he was 14 and married before he began studying for his doctorate at Georgetown University. Pachachi became a diplomat, serving as Iraq's ambassador to the U.N. in the 1960s and then as Foreign Minister. Forced into exile when he refused to join the Baath Party, he became an adviser to the United Arab Emirates, where...
...publicly to isolate and quarantine Syria from its neighbors (TIME, Sept. 23). All Arab friends of the U.S. had to show Syria that they would have no part of such a maneuver. And so last week Damascus was treated to the first diplomatic visit by an Iraqi Premier (Ali Jawdat, the summer replacement of Strongman Nuri asSaid) since 1949. The most elaborate gesture of all was the visit to Syria by Saudi Arabia's King Saud, who broke off his European tour and left the waters of Baden-Baden to proclaim his Arab solidarity with Syria...
Like Perry Como and Red Skelton, Iraq's Strongman Premier Nuri asSaid believes in the custom of summer replacements. Last week, as Baghdad's asphalt sidewalks turned sticky-soft in the sweltering desert heat, Nuri turned over Iraq's government to Senator Ali Jawdat, then went back to poring over a map on which was circled in ink the fashionable south German spa, Bühlerhohe, near Baden-Baden. First, Nuri confided, he was going to London for a medical checkup, then off to the Black Forest. Later he was returning to London briefly to look after...
...years older than Nuri, and an affable, intelligent and wealthy politico, Ali Jawdat, 70, is Nuri's longtime comrade in arms. Like Nuri, he was trained by the Turks in the Ottoman military college at Istanbul, fought in the Camel Corps against the Turks in the Arab revolt in World War I. He has been Premier twice before (in 1934 and 1949). One of his sons is a close friend of young King Feisal, and helps him care for his sports cars; the other is Iraqi agent for Westinghouse air conditioners...
