...other prospective guests also agreed-somewhat reluctantly-to attend the Cairo summit. U.N. Secretary-General Kurt Waldheim said his organization would be represented by Finnish General Ensio Siilasvuo, chief of U.N. peace-keeping operations in the Middle East. Since he expected that the Cairo conference would have "limited participation," Waldheim suggested yet another preparatory conference under U.N. auspices. Israel said it would not attend, primarily because the P.L.O. was also invited. But other Arab states were more receptive to the idea, as was the Soviet Union.

...meeting was largely organizational. We elected officers, and voted to change meeting times so that the Radcliffe feminist group's meeting time wouldn't conflict with ours--so gay women on campus could attend both groups. We listened to a short presentation by a representative of the Cambridge Gay Political Caucus, who talked about Saundra Graham's campaign for state rep from Cambridge. We broke up for cider and cookies, and I was intimidated by the fact that everyone but me seemed to know everyone else, so I left...
