When the British withdrew from the gulf in December, the sheiks created the Union of Arab Emirates (see map), which is somewhat less of a nation than a collection of traditionally suspicious and unequal tribes. Linked only by language (Arabic) and faith (Islam), the six founding members differ vastly in size and population as well as in wealth. Abu Dhabi (pop. 100,000) and Dubai (70,000), for instance, sit on top of enormous pooh of oil; nearby Fujeira (10,000) and Umm al Qaiwain (4,500) have none.

He ran inside to speak to the abbott and reappeared five minutes later. "Are you a hippie?" he asked me, straight-faced. "No," I replied, rather taken aback.
