...Administration's apparent schizophrenia over Indochinese strategy followed a similar display over Middle East tactics. It was while Rogers' fresh call for a settlement was still being considered by Egypt's Nasser and his Soviet patrons that Kissinger made his reference to a possible need to "expel" Russian troops. And the President on TV deliberately brought up the Middle East to castigate "aggressive" Arab nations who "want to drive Israel into...
...Egypt's President Gamal Abdel Nasser lingered in Moscow, extending his stay once, twice, then a third time, statesmen in a score of capitals wondered what was up. Were the Russians, mindful of recent U.S. warnings, finally trying to strong-arm their client into seriously considering the latest peace plan put forward by U.S. Secretary of State William Rogers? Or were the Russians and Egyptians taking all that time to check out a new shopping list of late-model Soviet weapons? When Nasser finally ended his 19-day visit last week and flew back to Cairo, a vague communique...

Soviet power shovels and drills could not cope with the granite, and trucks broke down in the heat. Osman convinced Nasser that only Swedish, British and Japanese equipment would get the $920 million job done on time. His project was completed on schedule, and now the turbines below...
...construct schools and gained national attention in 1952, when, in a record 60 days, he rebuilt a village that had been destroyed by British troops in retaliation for guerrilla attacks. Expanding outside Egypt, he put up an airport in Saudi Arabia and the new Parliament building in Kuwait. Nasser nationalized Osman's Cairo-based company nine years ago, but guaranteed him a free managerial hand and full ownership of five subsidiaries in other Arab lands. By abstaining from the under-the-table deals customary in the Middle East, Osman has prospered despite shifting Arab rivalries...
