...lead in the first 100 meters, and never gave it up despite a challenge by Washington near the 600 mark. By the 1250 there was open water between the two, and at the finish the Crimson had topped not only Washington by two lengths but also the Mont Lake Canal record by six seconds, with a 5:55.2 time...
...Henry Kissinger considered what a nightmare he has created? Soon Russian ships will have easier access through the reopened Suez Canal to threaten Egypt and oil-producing Persian Gulf nations and extend Soviet influence on India.

Sadat clambered up a 50-ft. embankment to visit one of the Bar-Lev Line strongpoints established by Israel after the '67 war and recaptured by Egyptian forces last fall. He told his assembled troops, standing at attention beside their tanks in the desert: "October 6, dear sons, has changed the history of the world militarily, economically and politically." One sign of that change...
