...Egypt, where only seven years ago Gamal Abdel Nasser unleashed virulent anti-Americanism by falsely charging that U.S. planes had wiped out his air force, the U.S. helicopter carrier Iwo Jima placidly anchored off Port Said to begin the minesweeping of the Suez Canal. Meanwhile, the Egyptian government prepared two former palaces of King Farouk for a possible state visit by President Nixon as early as some time...
Riding at anchor six miles off Egypt's war-battered Port Said was a strange sight-the 18,300-ton U.S. helicopter carrier Iwo Jima. For nearly two decades, the warships of America's Sixth Fleet have been regarded by Egypt as unfriendly and unwanted. But now the U.S. Navy is playing a major role in helping the Egyptians clear the Suez Canal of the explosives and wreckage that have blocked it since the Six-Day War of 1967.

The movie stands as a tabloid monument to social climbing America--too much of it too new, too raw-nozed, its jaw somehow too square and too set. So completely lacking is it in the distinctions of taste and tradition, so uneducated...
South Africa would be faced with a similar situation in regard to the Mozambican port of Lourenco Marques, which now carries much of the traffic to and from Johannesburg, South Africa's industrial capital. All of this cargo would now have to be routed through one of South Africa's own four ports...
