Anis Mansur: on meeting King Fahd

This anti-Semitic, right-wing Egyptian columnist, Anis Mansur, was a confidante and emissary of Sadat. His column is published daily in the mouthpiece of Prince Salman (Ash-Sharq Al-Awsat). He describes meeting King Fahd: "I saw his majesty among the people. I was not too far...He does not need words: his words are commands [This sentence is not logical, but let us proceed]. One words or two and the world around changes. He appeared awesome. On his face is a beautiful smile that does not appear much. People's eyes were on him." By the way, you may see the beautiful smile of King Fahd above.
