...Sudan, which had been Sadat's closest ally and, like Egypt, had suffered from Libya's belligerency. But in Libya, happy flag-waving crowds shouted their approval. In Lebanon, Palestinian commandos danced in the streets as if celebrating a victory. "We shake the hand that pulled the trigger," said one fedayeen commander. Palestine Liberation Organization Leader Yasser Arafat, who was in Peking, declared: "What we are witnessing is the beginning of the failure of the Camp David agreement with the fall of one of its symbols."

In private, he gave vent to what one insider described as a "bout of exasperation" reminiscent of the anger Carter used to trigger. The Chancellor has reason to be worried: he has vowed to resign if, at its congress next spring, his party reneges on an earlier pledge to station medium-range Pershing II and cruise missiles in West Germany beginning in 1983, while arms talks are going on between Washington and Moscow...
