...first time since he inherited Gamal Abdel Nasser's mantle as President of Egypt and leader of the Arab world, Anwar Sadat last week was subjected to massive public criticism by his fellow countrymen. At the vast (64,000 enrollment) University of Cairo, more than 6,000 angry undergraduates jammed into the school's auditorium, hoisted placards reading WE MUST FIGHT, and vowed to carry on the protest until Sadat showed up to answer their questions about foreign policy-particularly, the course of the war with Israel...
Only Chou. In the nervous Middle East, Israel's Prime Minister Golda Meir and Egypt's President Anwar Sadat clung to a precarious cease-fire and flirted warily with proposals to ease tensions, while talking as pugnaciously as ever. Whatever the merits of their long-range goals, Pakistan's President Agha Mohammed Yahya Khan (now deposed) and India's Prime Minister Indira Gandhi brought more suffering to the subcontinent, he by turning his troops loose in a murderous rampage against rebellious Bengalis in East Pakistan...
Final Hours. Perhaps that boast was on the mind of Egyptian President Anwar Sadat last week as he held a series of strategy meetings in Cairo with visiting Arab leaders and politicians of his own Arab Socialist Union. "The year of decision," which Sadat had called 1971, was fading into its final hours, and he still had not carried out the threatened military moves to recover captured Egyptian territory.

In the latest round, Foreign Minister Mahmoud Riad traveled to the United Nations...
...Middle East may be problem No. 5 to you," Egyptian President Anwar Sadat recently told a visiting diplomat, "but it's crisis No. 1 to me." Last week Sadat was doing his best to make it crisis No. 1 for the rest of the world as well. Wearing a khaki uniform, he viewed sandbagged positions along the Suez Canal and delivered bellicose pep talks to the troops. "I have come to tell you," Sadat said, "that the time to fight has come, that there is no more hope. Our next meeting will be in Sinai...
Dayan earlier warned armored-corps officers that, with negotiations over a Suez Canal settlement at an impasse and with Egypt's President Anwar Sadat making threatening noises, "1972 will be a decisive year." Last week he declared: "I won't give my hand to cutting 100 or 200 tanks from our forces." His aides meanwhile put out stories that Israel would have to curtail purchases of bombs and shells and construction of forts if the defense budget were cut too sharply. Bar-Lev was no help to Dayan. He allowed that, if the cease-fire continued, reserve duty...
