Quintet Groups. Led by Said Ramadan, an exiled and devout Egyptian editor (he kneels for his daily prayers even when aboard an airliner), the brotherhood has been trying to over throw Cairo governments since the early days of King Farouk. Nasser tried to crush it out after one of its members fired eight shots at him during a mass rally in Alexandria in 1954, but despite the execution of six of the brothers and the imprisonment of thousands of others, the organization survived. Establishing headquarters in Geneva, it was soon distributing an anti-Nasser magazine throughout the Arab world, smuggling...

Indeed, so confused is the situation that the USOM last week dispatched three teams of American specialists...

Behind him, Los Angeles Dodger Catcher John Roseboro wound up, took aim and rifled the return throw right past the batter's ear. Marichal spun around. "Why do you do that? Why you do that?" he screamed. Roseboro did not answer. He started straight for Marichal, and in front of 42,807 horrified-or delighted, as the case may be-fans, Marichal swung his bat and clubbed Roseboro...
