...months in the Middle East photographing the leaders at home and at work. As official White House photographer during the Ford Administration, he had met Sadat two years ago when Sadat visited Washington. Quickly re-establishing a rapport, Kennerly accompanied Sadat on his daily walks along the Suez Canal, visited with his family, and toured the country in his private helicopter. One day when Sadat and Kennerly were in Mit Abu el Kom, Sadat's home village, the President looked up to the sky and lamented the fact that so many Egyptian military planes now flew over the once...
...Southern Republican leaders cheered lustily last week when Ronald Reagan accused Jimmy Carter of signing a "fatally flawed" Panama Canal treaty. They applauded enthusiastically when John Connally charged that the Democrats stood for the three Rs: "retrenchment, resignation and retreat."

...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. "I planned to catch you across the canal," said Sadat, as he shook hands with Sharon. He then stepped into a bulletproof limousine for the 30-mile drive to the Holy City of Jerusalem. There Sadat would stay?for two nights?at the King David Hotel, which Begin, then leader of the underground Irgun organization, had bombed...
