...separate peace with Egypt or attempting to "drive any wedges between Arab countries." On a four-day visit to West Germany, where he conferred with Chancellor Helmut Schmidt, visited the former Nazi death camp at Bergen-Belsen and viewed 30 ancient Egyptian and Coptic relics on display in Bonn, Dayan was also asked about a separate peace with Sadat. "Any time, any time," he answered-adding, however, that Israel would prefer to negotiate with all the confrontation states.

That grim message was delivered to Bonn news agencies after three convicted members of the infamous Baader-Meinhof gang committed suicide last month in their prison cells following West Germany's antiterrorist raid at Mogadishu. As the deadline arrived last week, West Germany's national airline responded with a policy of saturation security for its 411 daily scheduled flights worldwide.

The Bonn government, for instance, rapidly accelerated its nuclear electrification program after the 1973 Arab oil boycott, and now has 13 atomic power plants. But the whole program has fallen into a state of semiparalysis as a result of political opposition and a barrage of court injunctions from environmentalists...
