...trade with the Middle East, stood opposed to forceful action yet reported gloomily that the British and French seemed in dead earnest about closing in on Nasser. Italy sent Ambassador Giovanni Fornari flying to Cairo with an urgent appeal to Nasser to soften his stand, sweetened it with a hint of big Italian construction help (FIAT) on the Aswan...

He has a thick, almost syrupy voice with both a hint of maudlin sentimentality and a dash of satirical humor. He is a Negro and has been blind from birth. Al's blacksmith father sent him to the Arkansas School for the Blind in Little Rock, where he sang soprano until he was 17. Long before he graduated, in 1936, he had memorized every nuance...
