Oratory on either side has turned bluntly threatening. In an interview for French television, Sadat warned that "either Israel comes to reason in the Geneva talks or we shall be returning to war again." Lieut. General Mohamed Abdel Ghany Gamassy, Sadat's chief of staff, told TIME Correspondent Wilton Wynn in Cairo last week that Egypt's armed forces are in better shape now than before the October...
...most important are a pair of rivals: Saudi Arabia's Harvard-educated Sheik Ahmed Zaki Yamani, 44, who publicly argues for slightly lower prices, and Iran's Cornell-educated Jamshid Amuzegar, 50, who argues for even higher prices. The other three are Kuwait's Abdel Rahman Atiqi, 44, Algeria's Belaid Abdessalam, 43, and Iraq's Saadun Hammadi, 44.

And when I say O.P.E.C., I mean all the member states without exception...
Brass Tacks. In Cairo, the Secretary and Egyptian Deputy Premier Abdel Aziz Hegazi paved the way for the private investment that Egyptian planners hope will revitalize their country's flagging economy. President Anwar Sadat had already announced extensive plans for free-trade zones, but it remained for Simon and Hegazi to nail down three crucial brass tacks: 1) an agreement to reinstate a 1963 accord, suspended after the Six-Day War, that pledges Egypt not to expropriate U.S. property without compensation, 2) a plan for a "joint development institute" in Cairo to advise U.S. firms on the feasibility...
