...baldly rigged the parliamentary elections in Lebanon and brought on an insurrection by his Nasser-minded opponents. Result: U.S. troops came in, Chamoun went out, and neutralist General Fuad Chehab replaced him for a six-year term. Last week the Lebanese were in the throes of their first post-revolt election. And for the first time in the coun try's 14-year history, they enjoyed the benefit of a secret ballot...

Last week, in the monthly York Diocesan leaflet Dr. Arthur M. Ramsey. Archbishop of York and Primate of England,* published an alarmed eyewitness account of the crisis.
