...stampede were bills dealing with such issues as a crosstown expressway for Chicago, a new election code and no-fault divorce. When one freshman senator objected to the legislature's methods, he was advised by Charles Chew, a black senator from Chicago who happens to be bald: "Boy, you take this thing too seriously.

In a sharp rebuff, Sadat said that he would discuss such matters only with the P.L.O. leadership (meaning Arafat); the delegation never arrived. In what was apparently the result of a bald attempt to embarrass Sadat, the rubber dinghy used by the fedayeen at Tel Aviv last week carried a marking, "Egyptian Army Seamen," and its lone survivor at first insisted that he had set out from Port Said. (He later admitted that the party embarked from Lebanon.) Sadat must be cautious...
