...people, even though she was speaking in the grimy 18th arrondissement, the reddest of the Red districts of Paris. In tiny Ecurie (pop. 362), only 15 men and a runny-nosed boy turned out to hear Socialist Guy Mollet review his premiership, blame "the Americans" for preventing the Anglo-French conquest of Suez.

Vastly more in evidence, as Egyptians prepared to celebrate the second anniversary of Nasser's Suez "victory," were the 385 ships that his Suez Canal Authority shuttled through the canal last week with smooth efficiency. Good operation of the ditch...
