...people." and that Jordan "is still tied to the chariot of imperialism and when she wishes to recover her freedom we will be ready to help her." Turning to Nasser, he poked at a tender spot: the Nasser-nurtured myth that Egyptians actually won a stunning victory in the Suez and Sinai fighting in 1956. He sneered at "the weak Egyptian army command" that could prevent "the Jews from capturing no fewer than 5,000 Egyptian prisoners, while the Egyptians were capturing only five Jews...
Prime Minister Harold Macmillan now feels the need to draw closer to Europe. When he first came to power after Suez, he gave top priority to repairing Britain's strained U.S. relations. Since his election victory in October, he has shifted his concern to Europe. That was the meaning of Selwyn Lloyd's visit to Paris last week, which produced more assurances than achievement.

Last week, with Britain's economic rebound having turned into a full-fledged boom, and the first favorable...
...exerted within the television industry itself. A handful of top critics-Gould, Crosby, Humphrey, O'Flaherty and Variety's George Rosen-are regularly read by network executives, program sponsors and advertising agencies. Such critics can point to a few direct results of their influence. During the 1956 Suez crisis, several blistering columns by the Times's Gould shamed all three networks into covering the U.N. Security Council debate on the Mideast. After John Crosby rapped CBS for vapid programing, CBS Board Chairman William Paley postponed a European vacation to help whip up something better. This fall, before...
