With President Reagan still settling into the White House and Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin girding for an uphill election campaign, Anwar Sadat has been fearful that the peace process might lose so much momentum as to expire altogether. So the Egyptian President has undertaken a one-man campaign to keep the process alive. Two weeks ago, he addressed the European Parliament in Luxembourg, where he solicited Europe's help in persuading both Israelis and Palestinians to accept "mutual and simultaneous recognition."

Finally, he got the O.K. from Egyptian President Anwar Sadat. This month, after twelve weeks of creative effort with as many tons of paint, the "Sinai Peace Junction" opened to mixed reviews: Cairo's environmentalists disapprove, but "the local Bedouins," says Verame, "love it.
