...strolls to the new Imperial Palace, built in 1968 at a cost of $36 million to replace one fire-bombed in the war. The Emperor spends the day with briefings, audiences and paperwork. He signs some 2,500 documents a year, stamping them with a 7.7-lb. gold seal...
Habash returns the compliment. In a Beirut office plastered with Mao posters and such artifacts as a U.S. seal torn from the American embassy in Amman 18 months ago, Habash said Hussein and Feisal are among his targets.

...reality, each panel is a blown-up photoengraver's plate of a news photograph-Lyndon with Roosevelt, with Truman, with Eisenhower, with Kennedy. Then at last, Lyndon alone.
