A group of Iraqi army officers staged a coup in Iraq and overthrew the monarchy of King Faisal II (who had ascended to the throne at age four). The new government, led by Abdul Karim el Qasim, was ousted in 1963 by a coup helped by the CIA and led by the Arab Socialist Ba'ath Party—later dominated by Saddam Hussein.

Well done, Ken. I'm having so computer difficulties that'll last another week. Very perceptive of you and to help out with my temporary deficiency. There are aspects of my behaviour where I'm a slob yet on presentation of my output to ClipMarks I'm factitious. I'd get twice as much done but for my hangup.

HI Righthand - no intention to point out any "deficiency" as you call it. Just an important point I thought should come across. Remember there is nothing deficient about you - only avenues for growth.

Faith and begorrah man, he's the High King of Ballygobackwards. Until the next skirmish that is...

Note to Righty: My evil twin sister has surfaced again...
