...Abdel Nasser-whom they both hate more than they ever hated each other. Both are lumped together by Radio Cairo as "reactionary, feudal, degenerate, corrupt monarchies bleeding the Arab people." Oil-rich Saud has granted some economic aid to poor, refugee-swollen Jordan, and Hussein has become a frequent visitor to Saud's vast, anachronistic fief...
...there was a sketch of a dark-haired, mustachioed Albert Einstein playing the violin. Most of the 82 charcoal, pastel, chalk and red pencil drawings in the show demonstrated Pasternak's talent for capturing a fleeting moment of gentleness and humanity-a talent that made many an aging visitor stop, catch his breath and murmur: "Ah, that is the way I knew him too."

On their return, the pirates swaggered through the narrow streets with barrels of rum on their shoulders, harlots on their arms, daggers in their belts and ill-gotten pieces of eight in their pockets. An appalled visitor once described it as a place where "the body of a murdered man would remain in a dancing room until the dancing was over. Gold and precious stones were cheap, but life was cheaper." A Royal Tear. In 1692 an earthquake shook Port Royal into oblivion. Morgan's skull...
