...name, the "Pacific Cove." Bedroom A is a neatly designed nest for the bird of passage, with toilet, retractable washbasin and hot water; a clothes closet; a seven-foot chaise longue that converts at night into a comfortable bed; air conditioning and heating; a large window so clean it could pose for a Windex commercial; and a button to summon a. sure enough, smiling porter. There is red carpeting on the floor and even on the corridor walls of the 32-year-old, 91-ton Budd-built first-class car. There are privacy and freedom and a sense of camaraderie...

While the spectators waited for 1½ hr., guards struggled to bring the killer into the courtroom; he scratched and bit them, trying to rush for a window.

There are shishkebab carts, doughnut-and-apple-juice carts, organic-bread carts and, later, one kimono-clad Occidental mixing onions, ground beef, celery and sweet peppers in a charcoal-fired wok (yummy). Suddenly, from behind a 20-ft.-high...
These migrant workers, who now number almost 1 million, remain outside the main stream of Saudi life, since most leave when their specific job contracts expire. In Al Knobar, shops cater to the thousands of Korean workers with window signs reading KOREAN SPOKEN HERE. Saudis complain that the Egyptian and Pakistani workers are responsible for the increase in burglary in a country that boasts one of the lowest crime rates in the world (in part, because thieves are punished by having their hands cut off). On occasion, Yemenites have gone on slowdown strikes, while Filipinos, Pakistanis and Koreans have demonstrated...
