...Jordan but would stay free of them so long as they remained internal. Israel, in fact, has a considerable responsibility for Jordan's turmoil: the most tumultuous of Jordan's agitators come from half a million Palestine refugees driven from their own country who now form a restless and disaffected overload on Jordan's desert economy. Another who bears responsibility is Egypt's Nasser, whose hate-filled Radio Cairo outpourings and political intrigue have inflamed the refugee-camp centers. In this chaotic situation, two Arab leaderships that mistrust each other -Iraq and Saudi Arabia-found common...
...Morocco Must Realize." After the war, France sent tough Marshal Alphonse Juin to put the now restless Moroccans in their place. Juin began by arresting scores of Istiqlal (Independence) leaders, announced: "Morocco must realize that at the end of its evolution it will remain tied to France."

The great white hunter was undaunted. "I'm going off to shoot lions tomorrow," he signed off. "I'll call you next week. Goodbye and God bless you and give my love to everyone." Adjusting his bush-jacketful of Ban and oleomargarine, he beat back into...
Only in a Colette novel could such details be touched with innocence and wonder. Like most restless and intelligent adolescents, Claudine seeks knowledge for its own sake. For her, adult behavior is neither good nor evil. It is just continuously absorbing, as the sex life of a lemming might be to a biologist. Similarly, Claudine punches and teases little Luce Lanthenay merely from a clinical desire to discover the effect of such cruelty on herself. All her hyperthyroid activity has but one goal: to make things happen and then study the results...
