...With Anwar Sadat's untimely death [Oct. 19], I feel as though a beloved appendage to my life had been brutally chopped off.

Troops continued to guard government offices and other public buildings, but there was no repetition of the strife that broke out in the southern Egyptian city of Asyut two days after Sadat's death...
