...thousand non-army paid employees, and a handful of unpaid doctors and dentists. Around the world, preaching salvation in 102 languages, there are only some 125,000 all told in the hosts of the late General William Booth. But like Joshua's army at Jericho, they multiply their strength by sheer ubiquity. Their coffee-&-doughnuts campaign in World War I, which so impressed U.S. doughboys, was carried on by fewer than 300 men and "Sals...
Douglas had been known in Hollywood as a competent actor (The Walls of Jericho, A Letter to Three Wives'), but Champion promptly doubled his price per picture. Warner Brothers took one look and signed him up for a seven-year, nine-picture deal at just under $1,000,000.

By last week, Abdullah's work of translation was making progress. Meeting in Jericho, 500 Palestine Arab leaders had proclaimed him "King of all Palestine," and demanded union with Transjordan. Cagey Abdullah took a modest line. He would consult with his government and other members of the Arab League. Last week his cabinet gave its consent, and this week Parliament voiced its unanimous approval...
