...Nasser is a tenacious leader, and once again his government went on the attack against the galabiya. State-operated cooperative stores put on sale 420,000 officially approved cotton suits consisting of trousers and jacket, retailing from $1.50 to $3, half the price of the average galabiya. To make the new attire more enticing, the suits come in grey or blue, or gaudy, striped red. In support of the anti-galabiya campaign, the state-controlled TV, press and radio have started a Madison Avenue-style campaign, with songs and commercials extolling the virtue of jackets and pants: they...

He set an Aug. 7 deadline for Henschel's minority stockholders to make up their minds...

The Swiss revolt broke into the open over two sausages: Zwingli attacked the "unscriptural" practice of fasting after some reform-minded friends were denounced to the Zurich magistrates for eating meat during Lent. Later, Zwingli preached against other Roman disciplines-celibacy, the doctrine of purgatory, invocation of saints-on grounds that they are not authorized by the Bible. In 1524 the town council methodically began to put into effect Zwingli's reformation, outlined in his 67 theses. Statues and crucifixes were stripped...
