...Saudi Arabia's sad-eyed King Feisal, 61-who succeeded profligate King Saud only last November-skipped Prince Mohammed ibn Abdul Aziz, 57, and picked shy Prince Khaled ibn Abdul Aziz, 55, as his eventual successor. The passed-over prince is a cheerful bon vivant, who himself suggested that Khaled be named the royal heir-and was reportedly rewarded with more than $1,000,000 for his unselfishness. Khaled, who is known as "the quiet one," has assisted Feisal at international conferences, currently is Saudi Arabia's Deputy Premier. A painfully shy, hardworking administrator, he is an expert...
Malaysian Prime Minister Tunku Abdul Rahman advised the U.N. that in the event of "more intensive Indonesian attacks" Malaysia "would immediately seek United Nations assistance."

After all, was Washington not supplying Malaysia's archenemy Sukarno an annual gift of $10 million in aid? Declared Malaysian Defense Minister Abdul Razak: "We are disappointed. If our friends wish to help us, now is the time...
...downs of money marts, but when a country's currency is in strong demand for no apparent reason, it is often a signal to the shrewd Lebanese experts that someone is buying it up to send back home in order to finance a coup. Example: just before Abdul Karim Kassem took power in Iraq in 1958, the Iraqi dinar's price moved up sharply. The traffic goes the other way too: when the rich in a particular country get worried about impending trouble (for instance, before Nasser started nationalizing), they are apt to move their money to Lebanon...
