"I was the Assistant Producer for a PBS TV program on Saudi Arabia back in 1980 when Karen Elliott House and I had lunch to discuss the latest goings-on in The Magic Kingdom, as it was known back then because no bad news ever percolated out of a land where all was well and all would be well, at least as far as the Western media was aware.
