Over forty years ago the British Government warned the Italian
Government; "Don't trust the Russians." The author was there.
Today, forty years later, Newsweek echoes the same warning to any
country that puts its energy sources at the political whim and
fancy of Mr. Putin. And what of the warnings that the United States
Government was given over sixty years ago that Mao-Ze-tung was not
the 'second coming of the Messiah'? The author was there. And he
seethed in rage and torment as he tried to sleep on the steel deck
of a United States evacuation LST while he heard the 'Messiah's
guns laying siege to Beijing. But all good things come to an end,
even the bad ones, and meeting the Queen of England at the Prime
Minister's residence, The Temple Trees, in Ceylon and issuing an
invitation to His Royal Highness to play polo more than compensated
the author for his first evacuation. But the reasons for his second
evacuation from Cairo and his family's evacuation from Beirut are
not quite as clear as he would like. Hearing about them might give
the reader some thoughts about the difficulties faced by their
fellow citizens who serve them abroad.
