Elected Syria's President in December, he was then deposed and jailed by the army officers in March (Coup No. 7) for chasing one of the demons, feudalism, with insufficient vigor. Recalled by the bickering officers two weeks later, Koudsi asked Dr. Bashir El-Azmeh, a Damascus chest surgeon, to form the government that has managed to pick a safe course ever since...
