First sentence: The men and women of the nationalist generation who had sought the unity of the Arab people must have cast weary eyes at one another when they heard their acknowledge leader call a truce with those they considered to be anti-unionists; they must have dropped their heads and thrown their hands in the air when he announced the onset of a new era where "solidarity" among Arab states would replace the quest for a comprehensive political unity.
