Merchants in Cairo's sprawling Khan-el-Khalilee bazaar selected the winner of their Best Customer of the Year award: former Vice President Richard M. Nixon, 50, who visited Egypt in June. "He did not bargain," explained Shopkeeper Ali Farag. "He seemed concerned with the appearance of things, he was not interested in the materials of which they were made." Nixon's reward: an inscribed silver tray. Back home in Manhattan, the puzzled winner recalled only that he did "lots of handshaking" at the bazaar. "Mrs. Nixon and the girls did most of the buying."
