...negotiating the Aswan agreement I had only one thing to focus on. I didn't want more than to maintain the real magnitude of my victory on the ground. I didn't bother about the Israeli Deversoir pocket because I knew that they were my prisoners on the West Bank [of the Canal] and that their presence there meant their death. On the basis of defining and maintaining the real magnitude of my territorial victory, agreement was reached. Yet I was still in great mental anguish, because all the powers wanted to negate my victory. The United States...
...fact which stunned the whole world, I made a speech at the People's Assembly in which I declared my willingness to go to Geneva. Let Israel withdraw from the Arab territories occupied in 1967 and let us meet in Geneva to draw up a peace agreement. At the time I could have hit the "depth" of Israel -and Israel knew I had weapons capable of this. Any man in my position would have done this even if merely in retaliation for three previous Israeli wars; but I didn't, because I am all for peace. Proceeding from...
...States can play this role, namely that of mediator between two sides that harbor intense hate for one another-a gulf of bad blood, violence, and massacres.

I must put on record here, in fulfillment of my historical responsibility, that our forces fought a remarkable battle in the days from Oct. 19 to 22. I challenge Israel to declare the real losses she sustained in the Deversoir Bulge, or indeed, in Sinai. Our Special Service and air forces inflicted great losses on the Israelis in those few days, particularly at Deversoir on the West Bank [of the Suez Canal]. The Israelis...
...Radcliffe Forum, established by a 1977 agreement, continues to sponsor some activities formerly run by the now-defunct Office of Women's Education, but has also initiated new programs. The Career Exploration Series presents panel discussions with professional women to a primarily undergraduate audience as a way of stimulating thought and offering career advice. In addition, the forum, under Director Reagor, has initiated a program that permits alumnae and administrators to dine in Houses in small groups to share ideas with undergraduates. These informal meetings provide Radcliffe administrators with fresh ideas, which they can develop into full-blown programs, Reagor...
