...Arab states are weak, fractious and radical. But one reason the Arabs are that way, and becoming more so, is precisely because of their impasse with Israel. The tragedy and chaos that have engulfed the once peaceful, prosperous nation of Lebanon are a direct spillover of the Palestinian problem. Anwar Sadat's position both within Egypt and among his Arab brethren elsewhere will remain precarious unless he can point to some success in the Palestinian autonomy talks initiated by the Camp David agreements and due to resume in three weeks. By and large Sadat has shown forbearance over Israel...

Winding up a six-day U.S. visit, the Egyptian leader detoured to Plains, Ga., to see his "deep friend." The reunion was all harmony and grits. Out on the old softball field, with Rosalynn and Jehan looking on, Jimmy presented Sadat with a glass sculpture of a laurel wreath. Sadat was at his gracious best, although Carter's detractors will doubtless delight in misconstruing his words. Said he: "Jimmy Carter...
