On Thursday 13 September 2001 21:56, I was honoured by a missive from Reeds
that said :

I have seen this on a number of lists, and need some help:
Would a kind student of history enlighten me on what the US did to prop-up
France in 1956 ?
It was a long time ago, but the only event I can remember involving both
countries (and Britain) is the US helping Nasser take over the Suez Canal....
TIA,
Ron.
