Among those on the receiving line: former Premiers Yitzhak Rabin and Golda Meir. Sadat greeted her with delight: "Madame, I have waited a long time to meet you." He smiled broadly when introduced to Foreign Minister Moshe Dayan?Israel's great hero of the 1967 Six-Day War?and was particularly eager to meet Agriculture Minister Ariel Sharon, who commanded Israel's Sinai forces in the 1973 October War.

The most recent reports in one of South Africa's largest daily newspapers, The Rand Daily Mail, based on interviews with six doctors who examined Biko a week before his death, suggest he showed no medical signs of being on a hunger strike-a strike that the Vorster government has claimed was the cause of Biko's death. The Mail also indicated that Biko had already suffered extensive brain damage, possibly as the result of severe beatings on the head...
