Prisoner or Circumstance. Nasser's prestige has fallen perceptibly among his Arab allies. Not even Nasser's propaganda machine can conceal the fact that Israel's army inflicted a brutal beating on Nasser's vaunted army. Countries like Saudi Arabia and Iraq, though they gave lip service to Nasser when he was attacked, have found his blockage of the canal has cost them dear in oil revenues. The Arab Kings have always resented Nasser's implied threat to reach over their heads to the street mobs in their own countries, have become increasingly aware that...
Ahmed Fuad, whose application for a U.S. visa was delayed so long on the ground of his Communist connections that he ended by withdrawing it, directs the government's powerful Foreign Trade Co. In press and propaganda, key jobs on Cairo's three government papers belong to party members, and the propaganda draws so heavily on Communist techniques as to argue coaching.

Often Reporter Michener himself appears amazed by the enormity of it, and to vouch for his accuracy he finds it necessary to declare solemnly that he has never fallen for phony horror stories-or for Red-baiting. To buttress the point, he cites his distaste for Wood...
...many who joined the National Guard back in 1948, may I say it was a way to beat the draft without completely disrupting our plans for the future-and the Guard used this idea as propaganda. The fact that the Korean war caught us does not alter the original reasons why we joined the Guard. So Charlie Wilson is right-but why get all worked up? Nobody likes conscription in peacetime...
