When an Algerian Ilyushin-18 arrived in Algiers at 3:30 a.m., the three Egyptians, plus the Iraqi...
General Dynamics attracted the real pros: Senators Strom Thurmond and Howard Cannon and Israeli Defense Minister Shimon Peres, who may have about $2 billion in aid to spend on weapons if Congress approves the Israeli-Egyptian accord.
