W Being positioned alongside the jetty by tugs. The early morning street sweeper. ln Oran, Algeria, we received our first impressions of the people and customs of a foreign land. Originally ruled by Moslem sultans, Algeria was taken by the Spanish in the l5th Century and finally captured by the French in l83l. Consequently, the city of Oran reflects not just one, but many ways of life. ln the city itself, the multi-tongued cab drivers who spoke English with a wink added a note of color to the glitter of intrigue and group of admirers that had enveloped us. Here, rug salesmen, amateur guides, and peddlers of home-made Parker 5l's followed us wherever we went, and souvenir, Joe was easily the most popular greeting in town. A pernod or cognac in any one of the many sidewalk cafes was appropriate before a dinner of Arab cous- sous or French crepes suzettes. After which, some French brandy or Algerian wine was recommended to renew the vigor of the soul that had undoubtedly suf- fered at the hands of heat and dust.
