Small Comfort. The intramural murder reflects last summer's breakdown of the much-vaunted Arab cooperation, and the apparent decision of Egypt's President Nasser and Syria's Premier Youssef Zayyen to back a kind of confrontation with the conservative Arab kingdoms of Saudi Arabia's King Feisal and Jordan's Hussein.
