...Baathists into power in two nations stretching from the Mediterranean to the Persian Gulf. The Baath party strongly emphasizes unity with all Arab states, including Egypt, but rejects dictatorship by anyone, ineluding Nasser. Its philosophy calls for ittihad, loose federation, and pledges overall allegiance to uruba, a pervasive Pan-Arabism. When news of the Syrian revolt reached the Iraqi capital of Baghdad, a military parade was transformed into a victory celebration, with long lines of citizens and students snake-dancing through the city. In Cairo, Nasser's men hailed the new Syrian regime. It seems probable that Nasser will...

And, of course, Pan American World Airways, which has leased one-quarter...
...rain. At a slackening, when the performance was due to start, a gentleman in contemporary street clothes, presumably Mr. John Ellerton Lodge, who composed the excellent music of the drama for men's voices to the accompaniment of woodwind instruments, came out from Agamemnon's palace doors carrying a pan of incense to lay on the altar where it might now be lighted with some hope that it would smoke. His foot slipped on the rain-greased altar step and went right through the marble, a canvas flap of which went on fluttering in the breeze until Intermission...
