...acting like a "mailman" whose only role was to shunt messages back and forth, began to ask probing questions of Egypt and Israel. Among them: Would Israel withdraw from Sinai in exchange for a formal peace treaty? Would Egypt recognize Israel in return for withdrawal? Egypt's President Anwar Sadat responded to Jarring's overtures by promising, for the first time, to accept a binding peace treaty and recognition of Israeli sovereignty in exchange for the return of all captured territory. Sadat also asked that Israel pull back from the Suez Canal so that the waterway could...
When Egypt's President Anwar Sadat approached the podium of the National Assembly in Cairo last week, barely a day remained before the ceasefire between his country and Israel was due to expire.

It was, in Cairo, a reasonably skillful walk...
Like some pharaoh of a technocratic dynasty, Egyptian President Anwar Sadat last week celebrated the completion of a project 17 times larger than Cheops' Pyramid at Giza. Grasping a pair of ceremonial shears, Sadat snipped a bright green ribbon to dedicate El Sadd El AH, the Aswan High Dam on the Upper Nile. As he did, a band played, young girls released flocks of doves, and Soviet President Nikolai Podgorny spoke one word of Arabic: "Mabrouk [Congratulations...
