...this last question that brought the most startling and encouraging response. With the approval of Palestine Liberation Organization Chairman Yasser Arafat, Egyptian President Anwar Sadat told Vance that his country now favors "an official link between the Palestinian state and Jordan-even before Geneva [talks] start." This link, Sadat explained, could be "some sort of confederation." The proposal was highly significant for various reasons. Arafat's apparent concurrence probably signals that he is now prepared to mend his bitter, six-year-old rift with Jordan's King Hussein; if so, this would remove one of the Middle East...
Cairo is planning to greet Vance with equal-if not greater-enthusiasm. President Anwar Sadat is preparing to charm the American in an attempt to build the same kind of personal relationship that existed with Kissinger ("My friend Henry"). The Egyptian leader is sure to emphasize that because moderates are now in the saddle in Egypt, Syria, Saudi Arabia and Jordan, Israel should take advantage of a unique chance to obtain a fair, negotiated peace settlement. Sadat will also want to press Vance for increased U.S. aid for Egypt's faltering economy...

...Those who shopped in private food stores-where lines were shorter but prices four times higher than in subsidized government stores-complained of constant increases in the cost of milk, meat and vegetables. While they suffered, the nation's remaining 10% prospered. The rich grew richer under President Anwar Sadat, who returned property sequestered by the late President Gamal Abdel Nasser and made private investment easier in a vain attempt to persuade upper-class Egyptians to put their money into productive enterprises rather than real estate, which provides better returns...
