...Republicans insisted on having the word republic or republican in the title. In fact, about the only thing the two sides can agree on is to suspend the conference until after the month-long Islamic holy fast of Ramadan, which begins next week. Nothing doing, said both Feisal and Nasser from afar. The conferees were told to stay in session until an agreement is reached. Yemenis being Yemenis, that may be until Haradh (average daily temperature: 98°-plus) freezes over...

...economic life: the need for Western aid, investment and know-how, the failure of extreme socialism to salvage the hemorrhaging economies of Egypt and Iraq. Algeria, too, under Colonel Houari Boumedienne, has retreated from deposed Strongman Ben Bella's far-left bent. And when Ben Bella went, Nasser lost his only real revolutionary pal in the Arab world...
