...State Henry Kissinger, who had helped to start the peace process with his arduous diplomacy after the 1973 war, found himself thinking that the nations had to move ahead. "It is a new world now," he said after the signing. "Whatever the problems, they are in a different context. It is an occasion for great hope...
