...rich is that we can do little things in a big way like the Detroit race-track owner who gave sports cars as favors to a dozen dinner guests. We all have our pet charities, and some of us even have crusades for example, H. L. Hunt, the Texas oil billionaire, spends millions on propaganda against assorted people whom he regards as Red subversives. Then in Britain, there's Sir Cyril Black, the rich Tory MP, who is dedicated to protecting the "moral" working class from dirty books. As he sees it, "the intelligentsia are the ones who are pulling...
...THEATER OF THE ABSURD. A beautiful girl gets into the back seat of a Rolls-Royce,takes off her clothes and climbs into a bathtub brimming with Calgon bath oil. The Dash soap man butts into conversations and flings laundry at innocent people. "Louise Hexter," he commands, "start wearing cleaner blouses!" The shaming, the touch of half-suppressed hysteria, is unsettling.

But many of the new supertankers are 250, 000 tons or more. Moreover, if and when the canal opens, the oil producers would probably find it cheaper to pipe oil to the Mediterranean than to sail through Suez and pay its heavy tolls. Using a pipeline would result in even more savings compared with the cost of long hauls around the Cape; Persian Gulf oil would simply be unloaded from supertankers...
Once their pipelines are completed, Egypt and Israel will find themselves ri vals for the same trade. Cairo is obviously counting on its Arab neighbors, which currently produce 75% of the Middle East's oil annually, to keep its line bubbling. The region's only major non-Arab producer is Iran, on which Israel relies for much of its domestic oil needs. But predominantly Moslem Iran is sure to come under heavy Arab pressure to steer its oil-cargo trade in Cairo's direction. So, even though its pipeline is expected to be finished first, Israel...
