Nasser is neither much threatened by Egypt's civilian population nor pressed by them into fresh military adventures against Israel. Politics in Egypt is essentially army politics. Some of the younger officers of the army bitterly recall how they were spat on in the streets of Cairo after the war, and would like to wipe out that memory. If there is an Egyptian alternative to Nasser, he is most likely
...before many people thought it worth collecting, ventured into Greenwich Village to see the works of struggling young artists and in 1929 was a founder of the Museum of Modern Art. Nelson was the second son of her five (John D. is older, and Laurence, Winthrop and David are younger), but he was the most responsive to her artistic instincts. As a boy, he conceived a fancy for a 6th century Chinese Bodhisattva and begged her to leave it to him in her will. While a Dartmouth freshman, he tagged along on one of her regular tours of Manhattan galleries...
...spectacle of older people grappling with techniques of 1900, while the young are assimilating contemporary radical experiments with unprecedented rapidity, paying little or no attention to their musical progenitors. As a result, the older audience surges deeper into the past, tenaciously clutching the "classics," while the younger audience repudiates that past with increasingly hysterical violence.

The genuinely revolutionary effect of the turn-of-the-century ferment, and the principle which has animated today's avant-garde, was that expressionism and impressionism were subsumed...
...which far from being plotless, abounds with the treasured moments of myriad plots. On short count, the following old dependables seem to have resurfaced for the occasion: (a) slightly neurotic actress has stormy relationship with egotistic co-worker, breaks it off and meets nice but slightly square younger man, who proves a shade too comprehensible for her artist's blood, so she goes back to the actor and lives not happily but well; (b) girl gets pregnant, has falling-out with boyfriend when she tries to tell him, goes away in confusion, gets embroiled in family hang...
