...Begin, by contrast, speaks with equal feeling not only about the Holocaust but about the Exodus and the destruction of Solomon's Temple. When Dayan talks about Egyptians, he regards them as the warriors who have fought the Jews over the past three decades. Begin views Sadat as heir to the pharaohs who enslaved the Jews almost four millenniums ago. His antipathy toward Arabs goes beyond politics...
...smooth transition to a democratic government. The late editor Chamorro was seen by many as the United State's preference for a successor to Somoza. But Somoza, whose health is beginning to fail, appears to be grooming his 27-year-old son, Anastasio Somoza III '73, as the heir to the throne. The younger Somoza, known as "Tachito," is widely believed in Nicaragua to have been responsible for the death of Chamorro. In any case, if the situation remains unchanged, his father is likely to make him the victor of the next presidential "election," scheduled...
When Carter and Sadat emerged from :heir 45-minute private talk, they were smiling broadly once again, and Sadat announced happily that "we have agreed on certain steps to keep the momentum in the peace process."

And to add to the confusion: the infant heir is supposed to have grown up in innocent obscurity to be a Venetian gondolier, or rather, one of two Venetian gondoliers, brothers, who have--rather awkwardly--recently married. Only one person can truly identify the next King of Barataria: that is Inez, coincidentally...
...shut case. Priscilla, Gavrel and a girl friend with him that evening identified Davis as the assailant. The couple had been quarreling bitterly over money; only days before, Davis had been ordered to increase support payments to Priscilla to $5,000 a month. A negligible amount, perhaps, for an heir of Kendavis Industries, a conglomerate valued between $300 million and $1 billion, but Davis was in debt at the time, and the presiding judge had ordered his assets frozen until the terms of the divorce were settled...
