When Morocco's new king, Mohammed VI [WORLD, June 26], was asked if he was satisfied with U.S. economic support, he answered, "Absolutely not." Well, Mo, first you could fly coach, then buy a Saturn instead of driving that customized Mercedes, and shop at the Men's Wearhouse instead of a custom tailor. This is what hardworking Americans do to save money. Petty despots like the King have ripped off the American taxpayer long enough. It's time we told our politicians to stop squandering our tax dollars on excessive foreign aid to pathetic little men. The arrogance! VIN SAVINO...
...angry norteno balladeers who wail about shame and betrayal. At 6 ft. 5 in. in his cowboy boots, Fox, the presidential candidate of the conservative National Action Party (P.A.N.), towers above everybody, even his bodyguards. He moves toward a blue Suburban, through a press of sweating, grinning fans shouting, "Vi-cen-te, Vi-cen-te!" He clasps hands with a barefoot Indian in baggy white cottons, autographs a photo for an adoring middle-class senora and squeezes into the Suburban with reluctance, like a hearty guest sorry to leave the fiesta.

Charles Dickens is remembered to have said, "If there were no bad people there would be no good lawyers," and Benjamin Franklin once noted, "God works wonders now and then: Behold! a lawyer, an honest...
...Mohammed VI seems well aware that times are changing, that the days of feudalism in Morocco are over. An enormous risk is that his eagerness to initiate change may undermine budding democratic institutions like Morocco's parliament--and set him up for a fall if public opinion sours. "I cannot do everything," he hastens to say. "We must all roll up our sleeves." He makes no pretense to his father's stature as statesman, although he does not lack for opinions. He criticizes Europeans for seeing North Africans as terrorists, and when asked if he is satisfied with U.S. economic...
From Morocco, SCOTT MACLEOD, TIME's roving Middle East correspondent, sends an up-close look at King Mohammed VI. Not only did MacLeod sit down with the young monarch for the first royal interview, but he moved with the King as well, flying and driving about with him. Writer and King even went for a jog together. Says MacLeod of the Moroccans: "This is the first major political change these people have had in their lifetimes...
