...hours last week, after pro-Nasser Iraqi rebels stormed into the royal palace in Baghdad, peace in the Middle East hung on uncertainties. Armies were on the march, air forces on the wing, navies on patrol. Banner lines and bulletins, the grim spectacle of gun-toting soldiers and scurrying foreign ministers that flashed across the TV screens all agitated the world's nerves in the most disturbing crisis since Suez 21 months...
...behind General El-Kassim. While their followers cried, "We are your soldiers, Gamal Abdel Nasser," the rebels seemed to be only in part a clique of Nasserian army officers. About half of the new ministers were civilians, and of these, five belonged to the banned ultranationalist, right-wing Istiqlal Party, whose members were old pros at nationalist plotting long before Nasser was ever heard of. After General El-Kassim, the most powerful man on the Council of State is Mohammed Mahdi Kubah, 52, the brains behind the pro-Nazi coup of 1941 that drove Nuri out of the country until...

This configuration gives the U-2 little dash but great lift and good performance at 60,000 ft. and above...
After casting his own vote last week (a write-in for a friend. Diplomat Isidro Fabela), López Mateos went to inspect a new wing on his walled home in the expensive Pedregal district of Mexico City. He chatted with newsmen, looked in at the garage, where a 1958 Lincoln and 1957 Chrysler have replaced his old, modest Fiat. He promised a "down to the peso" accounting of his assets before entering office Dec. 1 and again upon leaving it. For Mexico he promised only a smooth bossing of the current combination of state and private enterprise...
