...Jagan wins handily and switches back to his old Red line, Sir Patrick Renison, the Queen's governor, can appoint as many as 14 additional members to the Council, and thus cancel out Jagan's power without the face-losing last resort of calling in the troops. But Renison hopes to be able to persuade Jagan to set up a moderate government that can start easing the colony down the road to self-rule. Jagan claims that he is anxious to please. "I am a realist," he says soothingly. "The British government can still exercise full control even...
...British, though not treaty-bound to help, agreed to. But they hoped not to land troops except as a last resort. Instead, after first dropping warning leaflets over Nizwa and its neighboring forts, they sent over the first jet planes that the Omani musketeers had ever seen.

A friend of Whistler and a dandy in the grand style, Chase inspired his students with his enthusiasms for Velasquez, Frans Hals, Chardin and Japanese printmakers, awed his contemporaries with his exotic, cluttered studios, fez-topped black servants, white wolfhounds and mighty oaths ("My God!
