In the midst of it all, Naguib, escorted by his bodyguard, drove to Cairo's airport to perform a routine ceremonial function: a goodbye to King Saud of Saudi Arabia, who last week made a royal visit to Cairo. Suddenly Naguib clutched at his heart and fell to the floor, unconscious. When he revived, bystanders reported that he whispered: "I want to die." Later, the man who helped the tottering Naguib was Colonel Abdel Nasser. They walked to his car together, Naguib leaning heavily on Nasser's arm. For the time being, Colonel Nasser was again...

Within a few months, with the help of a lean ABC staff writer named Jim Moser, he started a weekly show of his own called One Out of Seven. Webb (who got $8 extra pay) was the cast: he dramatized the big news story of the week by standing before three microphones and doing his best to imitate Franklin Roosevelt...
...Administration last week called in an expert food salesman to help move a mountain. The expert: lean-jawed Clarence Francis, 65, who will retire next month as board chairman of General Foods Corp. (Maxwell House coffee, Birds Eye frozen foods, Swans Down cake mixes, etc.). The mountain: the Government's vast and growing stocks of surplus agricultural products, which now total $2.7 billion. Francis took over a White House desk as presidential adviser on surpluses and chairman of a new interdepartmental committee on disposal plans...
