...blithely riffle through the "In" box in Nasser's office. A word from him, and a journalist or foreign businessman gets an interview with the U.A.R. President. When a research employee was jailed for reporting critically on Egypt's economy, Heikal not only got the man freed and the report released but also forced Intelligence Chief Amin Huweidi to write a letter-to-the-editor explaining why he had tried to suppress the report in the first place. Lamented Huweidi later: "Centers of power are supposed to have been abolished, but one big power center obviously remains." Even...

Barnes and his nine-man staff primarily help big companies find black firms that can supply goods and services...
Ultimate Sacrifice. If Fonda was difficult, his close friend and fellow Easy Rider was impossible. A compatriot of James Dean, Director Dennis Hopper has become the caricature of the surly, inarticulate "man, like I mean" Method actor. He had once announced to Fonda that "the first movie I make will have to win at Cannes." But his appearances in films belied the boast. The mad stare, the simian stance could have been reproduced, everyone thought, by a dozen actors. Everyone but Peter Fonda. He persuaded Terry Southern (Dr. Strangelove) to collaborate on the Easy Rider script, and talked American International...
