Later, Hussein admitted that the "vast umbrella" over Jordan had been entirely Israeli. Nasser, however, stuck to his story to the end, insisting that "three times as many" planes as Israel possessed had engaged the Arab forces...
...will not intervene even if the North Vietnamese collapse." Just as in the case of Korea, it is easy to hope that it is impossible for China to intervene. She is preoccupied domestically, her army is poorly equipped by modern standards, she has no respectable air force or nuclear umbrella, and so on.

Signal had hardly settled the Mack merger terms, involving some $185 million in securities, when...
...moderation and temperance. The Greeks are a volatile, hotheaded and individualistic people whose political factions fight each other with the fierce ardor of the wars of the ancient city-states. The monarchy, by raising national leadership above the slings and arrows of Greek-style politics, is a needed umbrella in whose shade Greeks of every political stripe from Trotskyites to fascists wrestle for attention and control...
