...unpretentious look. He has already shown that he has no intention of changing his ways as Westinghouse's chief; right off, he declined the president's right to a chauffeured Cadillac, preferring to drive his Corvair to work as usual over the five miles from his Mount Lebanon, Pa., home, where he lives with his wife and four of his five children...
Talking with Guns. Along Israel's 600 miles of frontier with its hostile neighbors of Egypt, Syria, Jordan, and Lebanon, there are still great stretches of no man's land. From foxholes and trenches now well ensconced in olive groves, Jew and Arab stare bitterly at one another, firing on anything that moves.

Nasser has collected the best entertainers in the Arab world, and uses them superbly. When Um Kalsoum sings We Revolutionists, the Bedouins in the desert are deeply stirred. One of the most popular songs among Arab kids is How We Build the High Dam at Aswan. Every transistor radio in the Middle East is a Nasser agent. When Yemen revolted against the Imam, Nasser sent them arms...
