...scheduled to be completed by March 5, the Israelis will pull back from the canal entirely, and a thinly manned line of Egyptians will secure the East Bank, thereby retaining for Cairo territory that it last controlled in 1967. In expectation of that symbolic gain, Egypt's President Anwar Sadat last week nailed the outcome of the war as "the first genuine Arab victory in the past 500 years."

Though President Anwar Sadat has announced no definite plans to do so, most Egyptians are convinced that he is only too anxious to proclaim the nation's hard-won repossession of the Suez by opening it again to the world's merchant fleets. A small group of high-level Egyptian officials, with Sadat's blessing, is already hard at work on plans for a rebirth of the Suez Canal and its cities...
