Nasser was moved to wrath by a recent, offhand press-conference remark by the Shah of Iran, who said that though Iran does not formally recognize Israel, it does recognize the Israeli government de facto. Iran is not an Arab nation, but it is a Moslem one, and Nasser thought that this was letting down the side. Nasser also knew that for some time Iranian oil has been secretly sold to Israel, in defiance of the Arab League boycott which U.S. oil companies generally adhere...
Iran's oil need not travel through Nasser's Suez Canal. It can be unloaded at Israel's Red Sea port of Elath, on the Gulf of Aqaba.

And so his ministry begins, first in the preaching of love and forgiveness, then, after his baptism-by a wonderfully wild and frightening John the Baptist-in his stern proclamation that the end of the world is at hand...
...priest for every 6,000 people and admits that less than 10% of its nominal members are practicing Catholics. From all over the world the congress drew 13,000 delegates (previous record abroad: London's 8,000 in 1955) ; the delegations ranged in size from one person (Israel, Jordan and Hungary) to 2,836 from the U.S. Rio had never seen such a cosmopolitan crowd; bare-shouldered Ghanaians and batik-clad Indonesians drew stares, while the eight delegates from the Soviet Union drew something more-a predictable blast from the Rev.
