Evacuation of British troops now occupying the Nile Valley and the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan was demanded by Prime Minister Nokrashy Pasha of Egypt at Lake Success yesterday. It was the second time the African nation had made the appeal within a week, and British representative Sir Alexander Cadogan again replied with bitterness...

Auden is a shock-headed Briton with chewed fingernails and schoolboy charm, whose love of language is so active that he is never quite sure he doesn't write entirely for fun. He feels and says that good U.S. writers are too inhibited to admit "the basic frivolity...
