...Force Lieut. David Sleeves got considerable mileage out of his dramatic story of a bail-out from his T-33 jet over California's Sierra Nevada range and the ensuing 54 days during which he claims to have trekked (on sprained ankles) precariously through the wilderness. Returning to civilization sporting a handsome beard (TIME. July 15). Steeves. 23, was taken in tow by Air Force pressagents, sat for newspaper interviews, repeatedly told his dramatic survival story on TV. and finally got a $10.000 offer for his story from the Saturday Evening Post. Last week the sonic boom cracked around...

...reconstructed by Newby, onetime English Lit. teacher at Cairo's Fouad I University, Egypt's revolution was merely preposterous. Its romantic absurdity is represented by one Lieut. Mahmoud Yehia, an idealistic young hero of the Palestine war who wants first of all to see his wicked king dethroned and punished, and second to marry an Englishwoman. Nothing will so much prove the glory of the new Egypt and heal the wounds of his former "wog" status as marriage to Elaine Brent, a visiting newshen of the London Sun. Yehia earnestly consults a young Englishman as to the mysterious...
