England has left Suez; Cyprus revolts; Russia's promises of economic and other aid have swung some states toward her sphere of influence. In particular, we watch Nasser of Egypt as he plans to lead his country toward the goal of ever - greater influence in the Middle East. Where his ultimate commitments will be, who knows? Events surrounding the formation of the Baghdad Pact have further divided the Arab states between those friendly to the West and those neutral or hostile to it. Iran has seen an end to the story of Mossadegh and his nationalization of the Iranian oil industry.
What can we make of these events and of the future they may portend?
