...upper-income tourists who must "justify" their U.S. trip as business because of currency restrictions, though such restraints are being eased in many parts of the world, notably prospering Europe.

After King Mohammed V of Morocco paid an official visit to Disneyland, he returned later in civilian clothes, paid his own way to see it all again...

Nigeria found it necessary to post security guards around the French embassy...

Beaten by the Nazis and the Viet Minh, humiliatingly ousted from Morocco and Tunisia, evacuated from Suez, the French army has salved its pride by ascribing all its reverses to "betrayal by the politicians." Its mutinous spirit was not ragtag but austere: a conviction that they who did the dirty fighting are purest of heart, and entitled to sit in judgment upon the acts of the state.
