...Nasser. Scarcely two months after the 1952 coup that ousted King Farouk, Bell was introduced to a relatively unknown member of the new ruling junta named Gamal Abdel Nasser. The young lieut. colonel, Bell learned, was to clear the questions he proposed to ask the junta's strongman, General Mohammed Naguib. Soon Bell began to suspect that El Bekbashi (the Lieut.

And they eventually learned about factionalism first-hand when their own organization fell apart...

Several candidates have been considered but rejected because of their age: Prince Charles as too young, General De Gaulle and Pope Paul as too old, and J. Edgar Hoover as immortal. Referring to Hoover's statement that if appointed he would continue to serve in his Washington post as well since "What's good for Harvard is good for the FBI," members of the Corporation have emphatically...
