...BuPers-and to drop down from admiral's country to see an occasional shipboard movie. Title of one movie: The Desperate Hours. He presides over a flood of operational, intelligence and logistics reports that range from one end of his command at the Navy base at Port Lyautey, Morocco, to the other end in the Persian Gulf, where the Navy maintains a little-heralded and could-be-boosted force of one seaplane tender and two destroyers. He keeps up a drumfire of "sitreps"-situation reports-to Admiral Burke, a flow of erudite radio dispatches to Righthand Man Cat Brown...

Even the Navy, as it cruised the Mediterranean at will, had become...
...Philippines, commented the Manila Chronicle, reflecting the opinion of other former colonies who are U.S. allies: "The Arabs desire to weld their countries together and limit both Western and Communist encroachments in the area." The Parliament of Arab Morocco, where the U.S. has air bases, "forcibly denounced" the intervention. But Premier Abdullah Khalil of the Sudan, who is under constant pressure as Nasser's southern neighbor, expressed his "overwhelming joy," described the landings as "the turning point towards stability." And in Turkey the relief at the U.S. action was so unrestrained that Turkey's Baghdad Pact partners, Iran...
