Egypt and the U.S. may not be very far from the basic Israeli position. Washington and Cairo insist that the Palestinians have "legitimate rights" ?something Jerusalem has yet to accept???but neither Sadat nor Carter is enthusiastic about creating an independent state that would be politically, militarily and economically unstable. When the two leaders met last January in Aswan, Carter merely stated that the Palestinians should "participate in the determination of their own future."

The price now, even with the knowledge that her husband is alive, is still too high for her and, she thinks, for the country. She applauds last week's rescue...

...simply baffled by the way things were turning out. He offered to marry Bee, but she wouldn't accept???she wasn't asking for charity. He knew he ought to be devoted to Cecil?but he just didn't feel that way. The child estranged them. To cap the climax, he found himself arrested and convicted for theft?out on the rock-pile making big ones into little ones. Life had knocked him out in the first round...
