...wealthy landowner whose son is married to Sadat's daughter Noha. At Sadat's insistence, Marei was named head of the People's Assembly, despite vigorous protests against his staunch upper-class conservatism. Also close to Sadat is Premier Mamduh Salem, 57, a former policeman who endeared himself to the President in 1971 by arresting the then Vice President Ali Sabry, a Communist sympathizer, on charges of plotting to overthrow the President.

That, too, seemed to be the reason for an outbreak of small-arms fire in Saigon that soon followed. Every ARVN soldier and policeman in the city seemed senselessly to empty his gun. After 15 minutes the firing sputtered and died. But there was still the concussion of distant bombs from Bien Hoa and other bumps in the night: mortars, rockets, artillery...
