Today's moguls, then, differ only in degree from the prolific breeders of the past, such as Moulay Ismail the Bloodthirsty, Emperor of Morocco, who produced at least 700 sons (people stopped counting after that) and an untold number of daughters before he died in the early 17th century. One big reason today's powerful men don't have as many kids as they could is a relatively new invention that our reproductive instincts haven't had time to adapt to: contraception.

...Morocco -- an arduous journey in those days, on winter roads to Marseilles and then by naval frigate to Tangier. It was made easier by his connections. The 34-year-old painter was traveling with his friend, a French diplomat named Charles de Mornay, sent to conclude a treaty with Moulay Abd-er-Rahman, the Sultan of Morocco. (France had conquered neighboring Algeria the year before and did not want any Moroccan interventions in its new colony.) The mission, including Delacroix, arrived in Morocco in January 1832 and stayed six months...
When he assumed the throne in 1961, just before the evacuation of French colonial military forces negotiated by his father Mohammed V, the new King told his people: "The man you knew as Prince Moulay Hassan no longer exists." He adopted a quieter life, refused to set up an official harem, and married Lalla Latifa, a commoner who has borne him two sons and three daughters.

Occasionally in those early takes, between Gato's blasts and the percussionists' meanderings, you could make out what sounded like some pretty sweet music coming from Smith's direction. Apparently the word got to Gato that Smith was doing good things with the plano and it wasn't long before the saxophonist boosted him to "featuring" status on his latest albums. The logical extension of all this is happening this weekend...
...that if military justice did not finish him off, his illness would. As Hassan related it, the plan called for the plane to be shot down at sea "so as to leave no trace." With the deaths of the King, three of his children and his only brother, Prince Moulay Abdullah-all of whom were on the plane-Oufkir would have had dictatorial powers as head of a regency in the name of nine-year-old Crown Prince Sidi Mohammed. In fact, he had planned to pick up the child, who was vacationing in the mountains, immediately after the attack...
