...American diplomat, "Dayan the pragmatist emerged. He told us, in effect, 'Let's not get hung up on 242 or on formulas, let's worry about what happens next.' " American officials took some encouragement from one Dayan admission: Israel now recognizes that Egyptian President Anwar Sadat cannot be expected to negotiate a separate peace. Dayan indicated that Defense Minister Ezer Weizman, the Israeli official who has had the most contact with the Egyptians, had persuaded his colleagues in Jerusalem that Sadat has gone as far as he can, at least until the Jordanians and perhaps...

Weizman and Sadat have similar family tragedies: Sadat's brother Atef was killed in the 1973 October War; and Weizman's son Shaul, now 26, a former paratrooper, suffered head injuries from a sniper's bullet while stationed in one of the Bar-Lev fortresses...
