...Peking delegates fairly gloated. Glaring over the speakers' rostrum at Bush, Iraqi Ambassador Talib El-Shi-bib mockingly suggested that if the U.S. still wanted to save a seat for Chiang Kaishek, "it is very welcome to take him and put him in place of the American delegation." With that, Nationalist Foreign Minister Chow Shu-kai stood up, walked to the rostrum and announced that he would "not take part in any further proceedings." Amid sympathetic applause, he then led his five-member delegation out of the hall. It was the most dignified gesture in a tableau that a British...

To the key question of who is boss of the new Iraq, the answer seems to be: at the moment, no one man. President Aref cannot make major decisions without the concurrence of the mysterious National Council...
...sentence of death for Colonel Aref was tempered by a recommendation for clemency. But so deep were the implications of the case that six members of Kassem's Cabinet, including Brigadier Talib, resigned next day, to be replaced by three army officers and five civilians who are moderates but willing to work with the Communists. Economics Minister Ibrahim Kubba and Finance Minister Mohammed Hadid stayed on in their posts. They were the very same officials who last week negotiated important trade agreements with Communist Rumania and Bulgaria, and reached a preliminary agreement for a "vast" Soviet program to supply...
