...autocratic king who is pushing his people toward democracy is the West's best hope in troubled North Africa. Dressed in immaculate white djellabah edged with brocaded silk, Morocco's Sultan Mohammed V received TIME'S Frank White and Stanley Karnow in the throne room of his palace at Rabat, chatted with them under the ceremonial eyes of green-cloaked, turbaned guards armed with medieval halberds. He smilingly pointed out that independent Morocco, before the French took it over, was one of the first countries to grant diplomatic recognition to the young United States, added that...
