Eban was referring to a statement by Egyptian President Anwar Sadat demanding "a timetable for withdrawal." But diplomats in Cairo considered Sadat's statement, made during a visit to troops along the canal, to be more a matter of morale building than a real condition for the talks. More and more, Sadat's policy is emerging as an extension of Nasser's. In Cairo's daily Al Ahram last week, Editor Hassanein Heikal, a Nasser confidant, wrote that Egypt's former President had become convinced before his death that a military solution of the Middle...

Few are eager to resume the war with Israel. But President Anwar Sadat, who took over last month after Nasser's death, is also aware that significant numbers of his constituents-most notably the armed forces-are becoming increasingly desperate about recovering territory lost to Israel in the 1967 war. Thus Sadat has mixed bellicose words with quiet signals of Egypt...
