...Many of the women are dressed in long gowns. The men are in dinner jackets and patent-leather pumps. It is a merry, excited, optimistic crowd. In the center, sitting at a table on a round, raised platform is a rather penguinesque, stolid son of Norwegian immigrants, Henry Martin (Scoop) Jackson.

Khashoggi, in turn, filed suit against one director for alleged securities-law violations and protested that he was being victimized by a few "individual fanatics." As the vote approached, both the Saudi and his opponents tried to cool the atmosphere. The dissidents conceded that Arab investment...
