...those clever chaps. I like to know exactly what I am doing before I do it"). He agrees that Pakistan needs a constitution, but it will probably be Gaullist when it comes, and Ayub would argue that it has to be. He scorns demagogues ("It is a wrong thing to do to play on the emotions of the people") and swears, "I had no desire to take on this kind of work," but many Pakistanis believe that his ambition is to become the constitutionally elected President of his country...

Total added outlay for this year's corn charged...
