...Jordan. Little Jordan (pop. 1,600,000) gets modest Western aid ($45.5 million from the U.S. and $7,000,000 from Britain in 1961), has a yearly budget deficit of $100 million. Most of its development projects, except for the new East Ghor Canal scheme (TIME, Oct. 27) and Jerusalem highway, exist only on paper...
From the moment that Israeli agents in Argentina flashed home the coded message 19 months ago, "The beast is in chains," there has been no doubt over the verdict in the case of Adolf Eichmann. Last week, as a chill rain fell on the deserted streets outside Jerusalem's Beit Haam (House of the People), the three Israeli judges returned to the courtroom in which, for four months, they heard 1,350,000 words of testimony.

He became visibly upset and declared in no uncertain terms that he was sure any Jew who came to Jordan would merely use his visit to formulate more propaganda against the Arabs. I admit this sounds pretty ridiculous, but equally so are the frequent attacks by the Religious Zionists...
...from Jerusalem. No less obvious was Osagyefo's growing Messiah complex. Apparently Nkrumah really believes that he is the "Saviour of Africa." To associates, he said recently: "I am like the man who walked into Jerusalem 2,000 years ago and got the people to follow him." A newspaper has published a new lexicon of titles for Nkrumah that make royal rankings seem pale by comparison. Among the titles...
