Frye said that the landowners are trying to persuade Naguib that this law will ruin Egypt's economy. "He depends on army backing to see this measure through." If the landowners can't dissuade Naguib, they may try to "regain control of the army through bribery," or even kill...
...dean, then, must plan not merely to put his school back on a paying basis; he must work to regain all of the Design School's lost prominence, with the idea in mind that there is no justification for the University's housing a mediocre graduate school.

Carter blasted his way in, hurt Salas in Rounds 3 & 7, was the aggressor in all rounds except Nos. 11 & 12, when Salas rallied. Toward the end, far ahead on points, Carter coasted to victory...
