...spent an hour re laxing at the palm-fringed pool of the Nile Hilton Hotel. Refreshed by a night time visit to the Sphinx and the Pyramids, Rogers next morning met with Sadat for two hours and 45 minutes. Flying on to Israel, Rogers held two meetings with Premier Golda Meir and her advisers. Said one Israeli who happened to be outside Mrs. Meir's Jerusalem of fice while the first meeting was still going on: "It sounded like a family fight. I thought they were going to come to blows...
...appears increasingly convinced that the Israelis have grown too rigid, as indeed they have. The Israelis feel that the Americans, particularly Rogers and his State Department, are so anxious to restore U.S. influence in the Arab world that they are willing to impose unacceptable risks on Israel.

Israel is, however, willing to enter talks on Suez independent of any discussions about occupied territories. Defense Minister Moshe Dayan said that between the alternatives...
...Golda Meir, for the time being at least, appears to have a lock on the Premier's office. She is the first choice for that job of 52% of Israelis. Dayan is a distant runner-up: 20% make him their first choice for Premier and 31% their second choice. Allon got first-choice votes from 8% and second choice from 21%. Political observers note, however, that on the day Premier Levi Eshkol died two years ago, Golda Meir rated poorly in a poll of possible successors...
