While in the Middle East, he came to know Nasser well, and predicted -a year before it happened-that the colonel would emerge as the real power in Egypt. Bell was at Belgrade's Zemun Airport to witness the arrival of Russia's Nikita Khrushchev and Nikolai Bulganin; he reported the visit that drew world attention to Mr. K., vodka for vodka. Later, when Khrushchev made the sensational but top-secret Kremlin speech that demolished Stalin, Bell was in Moscow and got wind of it. During two tours of duty in Bonn, he covered the Berlin Wall...
Ahead were seven days of banquets, military inspections and private talks. And if the rumors being spread by the Arab socialist press could be believed, what they would be talking about was a conservative anti-Nasser "Islamic alliance" among Jordan, Saudi Arabia and Iran. This was vast exaggeration, but there was no blinking the fact that the Three Kings of Orient had been drawing closer together, settling their differences and emerging as a force that could prove to be an important balance against the socialist countries of the Middle East...
Coffin & Banner. It is probable that the conspirators, who believe with Nzeogwu that "only in the army do you get true Nigerianism," intended to follow the coup with a Nasser-style revolution based on a permanent military regime.

Its widely invested capital (banks, insurance, industry) include the more than $80 million in indemnities paid by the Egyptians for the canal. Recently, Suez has gone in for more direct participation in manufacturing, and the tie-up with Pont-à-Mousson is the latest result. Should the two companies...
Egypt's Nasser, no notable supporter of the U.S. in Viet Nam, offered his good offices in the search for a settlement, and immediately ordered Egyptian diplomats to contact Hanoi. His enthusiasm stems in part, no doubt, from a desire to enhance his own image as an international statesman. But the government press went a bit beyond mere self-serving. "Scorn and skepticism in the Communist camp notwithstanding," noted the Egyptian Gazette, "no head of state would send special envoys to a dozen world capitals, as President Johnson has done, if he had no intention of suiting his actions...
