...Emperor has found the postwar world more baffling. At first he sided with the West, sent crack troops to Korea. Then he caught the neutralist bug, and last year set off on a flurry of state visits-to "our great friend" Tito, to Nasser, to Russia and Czechoslovakia. He brought back a $100 million Soviet loan...
When he nationalized his country's press last May. U.A.R. President Gamal Abdel Nasser showed special tolerance for a pair of his oldest supporters-Cairo's weighty (476 lbs. between them) publishing twins, Mustafa and Ali Amin, 47. Though they were formally stripped of their ownership of Cairo's most popular daily, the jazzy Akhbar el Yom (News of the Day), the Amins were allowed to keep control of the paper's twelve-man editorial board and were saddled with only one government representative, Amin Shaker, 37, once Nasser's secretary.

In Switzerland, Fuad attends a village public school in a Lausanne suburb, is rated "an extremely bright" second grader, lives with his three older half sisters. Commuting between his children and Rome, Farouk is now trying to be a model papa. Always a nonsmoking teetotaler, he has even given up his night...
