...village of Mit Abu el Kom, Sadat is as comfortable with local mayors as he is with sophisticated city dwellers. In fact, Sadat functions as if Egypt were one big Mit Abu el Kom and he the great 'umda. Sadat has pretty much neutralized the once-mighty Arab Socialist Union, which Nasser established as Egypt's only political party. He uses the A.S.U. only as a sounding board of grass roots opinion; membership is no longer mandatory for representatives sitting in the People's Assembly, Egypt's parliament, and Sadat has allowed small, informal party groupings...
Futile Effort. A week earlier the fight between the Socialists and Communists, who are allied to the radical faction of the M.F.A., had seemed headed toward a showdown (TIME, June 2). Communist printers had forced the closing of the Socialist newspaper Republica, and Socialist Leader Mario Soares had vowed that he would attend no more meetings of the Cabinet, in which he is a Minister Without Portfolio, until the newspaper was allowed to resume publication. His vow raised the threat that the Socialists, who won 38% in the last elections but hold no real power under the present system, might...
...Union of British Fascists, who, flanked by black-shirted Biff Boys in the 1930s, praised Mussolini and Hitler and parroted their antiSemitism. But in fact, Mosley, now 78, has mesmerized, enraged and even amused generations of Englishmen, first as a Conservative M.P., then as an Independent Liberal, a Socialist Laborite, a Fascist isolationist and, finally, as a postwar internationalist preaching European unity. As the sixth in a line of Yorkshire baronets, Mosley frequently wore his own black shirt under a Savile Row suit...
...fact that he was also a good-looking 6 ft. 2 in. did not hurt either. During World War I, he was a flyer and an infantry officer. He was a skillful amateur boxer, and later became a member of Britain's fencing team. Even as a Socialist and disillusioned survivor of the first World War's unchivalrous slaughter, Mosley never lost his dash. His political enemies called him the Playboy of the West End World. His first wife, Cynthia Curzon, daughter of a marquess and granddaughter of a Chicago multimillionaire, made racy copy. Wrote one gossip columnist...
...options for Portugal but one: a crisis in which the Revolutionary Council would ban all political parties, thereby leaving the Communists in a position to strengthen their present footholds of power. After three days of almost continuous meetings on the Republica crisis, the Revolutionary Council pooh-poohed the Socialist reaction as "out of proportion to the incident," then warned, "The defense of liberty is not exclusively in the hands of any one political party but rather of the Armed Forces Movement and the Portuguese people." The words are hauntingly familiar, as well they should be. They have been uttered...
