Though Reagan has promised to continue the Camp David peace process, he faces trouble with Egypt over American use of a military base at Ras Banas on the Red Sea. The U.S. wants President Anwar Sadat to sign a formal agreement allowing American access, but Sadat is reluctant to do so for fear of stirring up Egyptian opposition. He has warned the U.S. against taking too stern a line...
Iranian process servers demanded that Panama deport the gaunt and wasted Shah, who flew to Egypt at the invitation of President Anwar Sadat.

And if Anwar Sadat figured the rest of his country should also take an interest, who was going to argue? Thus when First Lady Jehan Sadat, 47, defended her master's thesis (on the influence of English Romantic Poet Shelley on Arabic literature), the entire 2¼ hours were presented on national TV. At the end of the program, Anwar's angel got an A. Predictably, sniped some...
