...Jerusalem was to discuss a Mubarak proposal for talks between Israel and a joint delegation of Jordanians and Palestinians. The Egyptian President, who announced his plan last week, suggested that the U.S. first talk with the Jordanians and Palestinians in Washington. If such an encounter proved fruitful, the Arab team would negotiate directly with Israel, possibly in Cairo. An international conference under United Nations auspices then would be convened to approve any bilateral settlement...
Both total and average prices for the best horses each year have multiplied since the mid-70s, fueled greatly by Arab petrodollars and favorable tax laws. The really big money lies in breeding; the Derby's approximately $300,000 winning payoff is peanuts compared to the potential return for the winner in stud fees and offspring sales. Syndications (partnerships behind a horse's stud results) for top stallions can run for $40 million and more. The Derby winner, no matter how fast, is almost invariably retired immediately after the other Triple Crown races, the Belmont and the Preakness. He then...

Whatever happens with Moscow, the U.S. figures to remain the key broker in the Middle East. Three weeks after the Vienna meetings, Egypt's Mubarak, the leader of Israel's only neighbor to make peace, may clarify the latest Arab position on his visit to Washington. "We have a lot of movement in the Arab world," mused an Israeli government official last week. "Whether the movers are running around in circles or not, we shall see." In the Middle East, often called the land of missed opportunities, the trick for Washington is to keep a sharp...
