...Curb Propaganda. "An end to the fomenting from without of civil strife" is necessary to Middle East stability. The U.N. should undertake to monitor "inflammatory" radio broadcasts "directed across the national frontiers" in the troubled Middle East. The President avoided naming names, but every delegate in the Assembly knew that he had in mind the recklessly subversive outpourings of Gamal Abdel Nasser's vitriolic Radio Cairo and Radio Damascus...
Five-Star Ambassador* Bob Murphy, 63, had indeed done a remarkable job. Among his major achievements: 1) by urging a positive, performance-over-propaganda U.S. program for the Middle East, he contributed directly to the policies set forth in the President's U.N. speech; 2) by rallying rival Lebanese parties behind compromise President-elect Fuad Chehab, he arranged a shaky sort of cease-fire and brought a promise of political order to Lebanon; 3) he shrewdly impressed Arab leaders, both friendly and hostile, with the key fact that the U.S. had shown itself able and willing to help...

...lunar slagheap landscape on which Empire's sun had set. After Orwell turned to socialism - an Old-Etonian socialist who was prepared to be serious about it was a rare thing in those days -he was quickly tapped for great things in the world of left-wing propaganda. He went on his pilgrimage to the poor on commission from the influential Left Book Club, run by a notable socialist triumvirate - Publisher Victor Gollancz, London School of Economics Professor Harold J. Laski and John ( The Coming Struggle for Power) Strachey. When Orwell finished his book, his sponsors found that they...
