...General of the Foreign Service since 1954, an old Mid-East specialist with embassy service in Beirut, Teheran, Cairo and Jidda in the 1930s and '40s, as ambassador to Saudi Arabia and Lebanon in 1950 and '53. Dapper Ray Hare, who looks like Ronald Colman, has a profound knowledge of Arab society and economic life, but no previous ties with Nasser, hence symbolizes a fresh, new era of U.S.-Egyptian policy...
Compulsive Adviser. In the 30 years since that day in Paris, nothing has shaken Jawaharlal Nehru's profound conviction that it is up to him to set people straight on the facts of life.

Can be starving, still no canard sauce...
There is no doubting Thomas's skill. No profound intellectual, Dekker still possessed consummate wit, and produced a busty, gusty, lusty farce of great warmth and vigor. Teeming with bawdy doubles ententes, it makes Measure for Measure read like Sunday sermon. And when Dekker doesn't call a spade a spade, he calls it a steamshovel...
