Goodbye with Tanks. Within the Legion a group of anti-British nationalists formed, similar to the "Free Officers" clique that overthrew Egypt's King Farouk. They found allies against Glubb in Premier Rifai and in Queen Mother Zaine, who has been collecting a $280,000 annual subsidy from Saudi Arabia's King Saud to work against the British position. Last week, with nationalist sentiment running high, the officers forced the young King to choose between General Glubb and his own throne...
...Soviet Union's two South in- Pretoria and Cape Town -their doors last week on orders of South Africa's Nationalist government. Said External Affairs Minister Eric Louw : "The Russian consul general has cultivated and maintained contact with subversive elements in South Africa and has formed channels of communication between them and Moscow."

Around 9 of the summer's evening, a caravan of 130 cars, filled with 156 Nationalist parliamentarians and wives, drove slowly up to the great house whose grounds overlook two oceans. "We have come to sing," announced a spokesman. Mrs. Strydom invited the crowd inside...
...meets Richard again. With India's sun-scorched earth and evergreen-crowned peaks for a backdrop, their illicit love affair is a many-splendored dream. They wake up to the man-made India riven by hate. In a tragedy of errors, Kit and Premala are murdered by nationalist extremists, and as the episode ramifies, Mira and Richard find that not even their love can break through the sociocultural barrier...
