Secretary of State Dulles, not believing that Israel could be intimidated by the sort of blustering Soviet note that the Turks receive and reject nearly every month, summoned Israeli Ambassador Abba Eban to see what the Israelis were up to. Israel did impose a ban on overflights, only to lift it "temporarily" three days later-for U.S. planes only...
...keeping his army free of Cairo-tainted men. Though pro-Nasserites shrilly cry that "American aid is more dangerous than British imperialism," Khalil goes right on negotiating with the U.S. When the Marines landed in Lebanon, he bluntly declared himself "overjoyed."

Complicated as the plan was, it had certainly considered everyone's feelings. But within hours the rejections began to roll in. The nays were at least softer than anyone had dared hope after all the violence. In an artfully worded letter that was two days in the writing, exiled Greek Orthodox Archbishop Makarios, bearded leader of the Greek Cypriot movement for union with Greece, objected that the plan...
