...Instead, Tariki wants to develop "integrated" operations down to the distant gas pump, with the Arabs taking a share in producing, transporting and marketing the oil. Aramco is willing to give him more money in future concessions but no part in company operations outside Saudi Arabia. Last week the talk of Cairo was about a Tariki plan for an Arab-owned tanker fleet and a new Arab-owned pipeline from the Persian Gulf across Syria to the Mediterranean...
...tweaked gaudy American advertisements for stiffening sales resistance; the incessant screaming of fire and police sirens in New York were annoying, and many U.S. movies simply a bore. For 3½ hours, Moiseyev enthralled 600 actors, dancers, musicians and writers. When he finished, he was asked to repeat the talk, this time before Moscow's House of Journalists...

Yet the effect is that of a good conversationalist quietly voicing some private enthusiasms over some very good, very old brandy. His trick is to talk mostly about people and not too much about his advertised subject. The novels of Germany's Goethe make an occasion to discuss a man of genius who found it hard to keep away from a pretty woman. After a lucid introduction to Hindu religion, he describes the life of a swami...
