...hard-line Arabs at the Damascus meeting were overjoyed that Jordan and Saudi Arabia were not endorsing Camp David. The Arab world's break with Sadat now appeared complete. President Assad said of the Egyptian leader: "He has turned his back on Arab history, he has given up Jerusalem ... Who would have imagined that one day Sadat would describe us as his enemy and Begin as his friend?" Arafat, whose organization will presumably be pushed toward increased guerrilla activity by the Camp David agreement, declared: "As for Sadat, the traitor who sold Jerusalem for a few burnt sands...
...suggested in his farewell speech, his successor will have his hands tied to a considerable extent by his own Cabinet colleagues and the dictates of party policy. Traditionally, Nationalist ideology has been divided between so-called verligte (enlightened) and verkrampte (narrow-minded) elements, though these days it tends to break down more between younger and older Afrikaners, farmers and city dwellers. If the choice is for a verligte approach, South Africa?and the West?might yet be able to buy a little time to try to salvage a peaceable future in the region.

If so many businessmen refused to sign that the Government was forced to buy from non-pledgers?or, worse, if the Administration winked at violations as the price of avoiding crippling strikes?President Carter would lose all chance of winning wage-price restraint. In Okun's view, the risk in not adopting a tough guidelines policy is worse: negotiations next year in the construction, auto and trucking industries could result in a wage explosion that would push inflation firmly back to double-digit...
Harvard seemed ready to break the game wide open with a pretty goal early in the second half. Smith brought the ball down the middle and put a through pass on the foot of Keller Sarmiento to the left of the Columbia goal. He slipped one defender and fired a shot at the far post where Walter Diaz broke his shooting drought, slamming the ball home...
