...Syrians proved unwilling-or unable-to make an all-out effort to destroy Hussein. To do so would have forced an open split with King Saud, perhaps would have compelled him still further toward Iraq and the West. This week there was a flurry of flying to save faces.. Syria's Kuwatly popped in on Nasser; together with Nasser's top political adviser, he went on to Mecca to see Saud. They were all desirous of re-creating that somewhat bogus show of Arab unity proclaimed only three months ago in Cairo. Each for his own reasons...
Start Toward Stability. In proclaiming that the "independence and integrity" of Jordan are "vital," the U.S. had helped to save the day.

Taking quick control, he played the bull with daring passes that brought the crowd to its feet chanting oles. Then, in a sudden hush, he killed the bull cleanly with a single thrust. As the bull dropped to its knees...
...world" is dull, vapid, inessential. There are those who believe that "the world of words," rather than a tissue of shadows and reflected passions," is the only source of intensity, vitality, truth. If, indeed, as Mr. Jencks says, the world is irrational, of what use is the constructive mind, save perhaps to depict it, to "breed one work that wakes." Mr. Jencks' fundamental error, I believe, was in allowing an aesthetic criticism of the proundity of Mr. Levin's method of literary analysis to develop into a moral issue denouncing withdrawl into the world of words...
