...engulfed so many countries, the World section describes events in Germany and Canada. We discuss the forthcoming elections for new heads of state in France and Australia, and examine the first weeks of Portugal's new regime. In addition, TIME this week publishes an interview with Egyptian President Anwar Sadat, and in seven pages of text and color pictures provides a view of Sadat's "new Egypt...
Egyptians dubbed Kissinger "the magician" after he piloted a similar shuttle to a disengagement agreement between their forces and Israel's last January-and they were certain that he could do it with Syria and Israel. In Alexandria, where the weather was cooler than in Cairo, Egyptian President Anwar Sadat received Kissinger and told newsmen that "my friend, Dr. Henry" would get his agreement. Foreign Minister Ismail Fahmy effusively estimated the chances at 80%. But others were not so sure, least of all the Kissinger party.

Nonetheless, as Jews began celebrating the annual Passover festival, which commemorates the flight of the Hebrews from Egypt some 3,000 years ago, Israelis were taking no chances that the Syrians would follow up the Yom Kippur War with a Passover war. Israeli forces were put on high alert. In line with what a military spokesman termed "a no-risk policy," grape juice was substituted for the obligatory Seder...
