...jubilant delegations dashed between Baghdad, Damascus and Cairo last week, the Arab world was awash with joy. Crowds swarmed in the streets chanting the slogan, "Unity. Freedom, Socialism!" In Cairo and Damascus, mobs shouted. "Nasser! Nasser! Union tomorrow!" Iraq's Deputy Premier Ali Saleh Saadi cried. "The Arab world will now certainly unite. This is an old aspiration. What is new is that it has now become possible...
...revolutionary wave next threatens the monarchies of Jordan and Saudi Arabia, which have bitterly opposed Nasser's intervention in Yemen and have no love for the unity proposals of the Baath party. The beleaguered kingdoms last week seemed to be girding for a last-ditch stand. King Hussein alerted his Arab Legion, the most efficient fighting force in the Arab world. Prince Feisal, Premier of Saudi Arabia, protested that Egyptian planes had bombed Saudi towns on the Yemen border and angrily declared, "Let the world know that we are not afraid of war. We Saudis are indeed the children...
...evidence of republican control of the country. After a 60-minute session with Yemen's Strongman Abdullah Sallal, Bunche declared, "I was most impressed by his earnestness, sincerity, strength and seriousness of purpose."

Washington sent a message to Nasser expressing "grave concern" at continued Egyptian bombing of Saudi Arabia. Instead of marines, the U.S. sent veteran Diplomat Ellsworth Bunker to Saudi Arabia to reassure the understandably nervous Prince Feisal. U.S. policy seems aimed at safeguarding the territorial integrity of Jordan and Saudi Arabia from aggression beyond their borders, not in maintaining the monarchs in power against their...
...months in London, David Zogbaum has managed to become perhaps the least understood and most vociferously criticized American in Britain. London's popular press has excoriated him as a "brain snatcher" and a "head-hunter." British businessmen would feel as comfortable around him as Abdel Nasser might feel around Ben-Gurion. Zogbaum is the British representative of a company called Careers Inc., and a recruiter of talent for some 67 U.S. corporations. His hostile reception by the British is a measure of their concern over the loss of scientific and technical talent to the U.S., summed up fortnight...
