Heard-Bey

The UAE is a small petroleum-rich nation bordering Saudi Arabia, which has been developing at breakneck speed. Founded in 1971 and one of the last Gulf countries to modernize, in just over one generation it has transitioned from an impoverished nation to a place with immense wealth and privilege (Heard-Bey 2004). The country s growth and development has been mirrored by the rapid development of the higher education sector. The first public university. United Arab Emirates University, was launched in 1976, and ZU was opened in 1998.

I wanted to talk to the Taplines people, but that afternoon I heard that Fawzi Bey el Kawukji, the commander of the Arab Liberation Army, would be in Damascus the next day. So I decided to go to Damascus that afternoon and come back to Beirut later. There is a regular taxi service, and I had no trouble getting a seat in a big car carrying eight passengers. 

We d heard reports about this artillery of Fawzi Bey s. He was reported wandering around in the hills outside Jerusalem with a couple of 75-mm. guns, which he occasionally loosed oflE into the Jewish residential quarters, apparently in the faint hope of perhaps killing an odd Jew or so. It seemed a senseless waste of ammunition for very uncertain results, quite aside from the savage disregard of the laws of war.
