...Anglo-French occupied Port Said, infiltrating guerrillas plastered the walls with big signs saying: DEATH IF YOU STAY. Shopkeepers closed their stores, and the hostility and resentment mounted to a peak as the first U.N. forces marched in. Yelling "British Go Home" and "Long Live Nasser," nearly 20,000 pajama-clad Egyptians crowded onto the streets and pressed against British troops standing with bayonets drawn.

...keep his empire expanding, McMahon during the last two years has spent almost as much time in Texas, Wall Street and Washington as in Calgary. No man to overlook a good investment wherever he is, McMahon helped back two Broadway musicals (Pajama Game, Plain and Fancy), turned a fat profit on both. Last week Millionaire McMahon took time off to be married to onetime Hearst Columnist Betty Betz, 36 (each for the second time), whom he met two years...
