...peace agreement, American Ambassador Hermann Eilts failed to show up at a Cairo dinner party where he was to be guest of honor. Wynn learned that Eilts had been abruptly called back to Washington. Eilts' trip turned out to be the first of seven, shuttling peace proposals between Anwar Sadat and the State Department...
Sadat's Ploy. After milking the melodramatic possibilities of the threat, Egyptian President Anwar Sadat, only 30 hours before the old mandate expired, magnanimously accepted a "dawn appeal" by the U.N.

Egyptian officials quickly declared that Sadat had been misquoted, and the offending sentence did not appear in local accounts of the Hearst interview. Kissinger, as he left Washington for a European trip that included talks with Israeli Premier Yitzhak Rabin, maintained that "we are not anywhere near the point of agreement." Rabin, en route to West Germany on an official visit...
