...exclusive photographs that accompany this week's report on the state dinner for Egyptian President Anwar Sadat were equally ingenious. To get a candid picture of President Reagan's toast without creating a distraction, Photographer Dennis Brack placed two cameras inside soundproofed planter boxes that had holes in the sides and then tripped them by infrared beams from across the room. In Brack's case, being in the "wrong" place at the right time was the perfect solution...
Before he left Washington, there was a warmup for the foreign policy debate that will soon take center stage. President Anwar Sadat of Egypt arrived in Washington, the first in a series of postvacation Middle Eastern visitors who will include Israel's Prime Minister Menachem Begin, Jordan's King Hussein and Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Fahd. Sadat was met on the White House lawn with great flourish: herald trumpeters played an original composition called A Salute for a New Beginning, and Reagan called the Egyptian "a man whom history will undoubtedly label one of the 20th...
Historians of presidential dress and eating habits take note: Anwar Sadat has an aversion to shellfish and dinner jackets. Marginalia in the great sweep of international affairs, of course, but such items were priorities for the White House staff as it planned last week's double date for Anwar, Jihan, Ronnie and Nancy.

But the Reagans' high style was very much in evidence, reinforcing their reputation...
...shaky, Begin's new government is expected to be even more ineffectual than the last. In one of his first declarations after forming a government, Begin called for an "undelayed resumption" of the Camp David process. This would include talks with Egypt, as urged last week by President Anwar Sadat, that are aimed at granting the Palestinians autonomy. But most U.S. and Arab officials doubt that Begin would risk toppling his government by trying to work out such an agreement. Surveying Begin's government, a senior official in the U.S. State Department noted the lack of moderates...
...perhaps Egypt or Oman, into supplying a permanent base for R.D.F. units. That will be far from easy and may be politically hazardous. Providing the R.D.F. with a base might brand a friendly government as a U.S. puppet in the eyes of its neighbors?and its own people. President Anwar Sadat, the closest U.S. ally in the Muslim world, has said flatly that he does not want a U.S. base in Egypt, and no other country in the region seems willing to offer one?except Israel, where the U.S. would not want to station troops, for fear of further angering...
