As their rich laughter rang out over the silent desert, Pharaohs turned over in their sarcophaguses and Arab guides laughed for the first time in their dedicated lives. Even the Sphinx relaxed his grim visage as Rhoda Boggs, lodged on camel's hump, screamed in terror. It was their day off, but the 65 government-sponsored thespians continued to spread happiness and counteract Russian "cultural propaganda." At a party staged by an editor of a paper unfriendly to the USA, the atmosphere remained cool until one trouper, after outbouncing the Oriental bellydancer, swung into a jitterbug to the off-beat music that was real Arabian. "At that point," reported CBS correspondent Frank Kearns, who was present, "a lot of anti-Americans deserted ranks." During their stay in the Near East, the cast captivated the people both off the stage and on. Said a Cairo reviewer, "If this is propaganda, let's have more of it."
