...each side is supposed to do everything in its power "so that conflicts or situations will not arise which could serve to increase international tension." The Russians clearly violated that article by not alerting the U.S. before the outbreak, even though they had advance warnings of Egyptian President Anwar Sadat's intentions (see story page 32). Assuming that the Russians would keep the Arab armies on a leash, the Israelis, to their regret, completely misjudged the Arab buildup, and they failed to see that it was a prelude to war.

EGYPT. Appropriately, Nixon's trip began in Egypt, by far the most populous (36 million) and most powerful of the Arab countries and the one that took the lead in softening the Arabs' implacable hostility toward Israel. President Anwar Sadat gambled his political future on the belief that he could enlist American support in working out a lasting settlement with the Israelis.

Sadat clambered up a 50-ft. embankment to visit one of the Bar-Lev Line strongpoints established by Israel after the '67 war and recaptured by Egyptian forces last fall. He told his assembled troops, standing at attention beside their tanks in the desert: "October 6, dear sons, has changed the history of the world militarily, economically and politically." One sign of that change...
