When I first met Heikal in 1964, he was already Nasser's close confident and a prominent journalist and I had already served two prison terms totalling seven and a half years.

Although it might sometimes seem like the world will be forever inundated in conflicts and war, a global body like the United Nations, founded as it was on the basic principle of the supremacy of law worldwide, can offer us hope that the rule of law will prevail.
That will always be only a distant hope, however, argued Mohamed Hassanein Heikal in his address to the opening ceremony of the American University in Cairo's 13th International Model United Nations Conference, unless the tumultous relationship between the United States and the global body is made more concrete.
