That is what Egypt's President Anwar Sadat says his country must gain as a result of his bold decision to make peace with Israel. Now, two years after his flight to Jerusalem and nine months after the signing of the treaty ending hostilities, some changes are appearing.

The reopened Suez Canal is earning rich transit fees, and Egyptian engineers have taken over Alma, the largest of the oilfields being given...

But the Cardinal soured on the bishop as his TV and money-raising success soared. Perhaps as a result, the bishop was never to get a Cardinal's red hat. In 1957 Sheen abruptly gave up his TV shows.
