As Saud boarded a Constellation bound for the Azores, where a Spanish plane would transport him to his next stop in Spain, Nixon said he hoped that the bad weather "doesn't leave a bad impression on Your Majesty." Replied Saud of Arabia: The rain was of no consequence; he would remember "the warmth of the heart...
