...carried to the Middle East a new sensitivity to the world's historical eddies. He displayed an eloquence that until now he has resolutely choked. He got tired, irritated, frightened. He showed it all, a soothing touch of realism that has rarely been allowed. And in his success, caution and true humility replaced visions of the millennium and interviews with the network anchormen...
...House officials had been careful not to encourage hopes of success. On the flight to Cairo, a senior presidential aide stressed that Carter was "not particularly" optimistic and was "well aware of the fact that it is much easier for things to go wrong than to go right." This caution seemed warranted, for even before the Americans had landed, Egyptian Premier Moustafa Khalil had announced that his Cabinet had not accepted all the U.S. compromise proposals.

Indeed, RCA announced that it would go ahead with its system only after Magnavox began test-marketing in December. Magnavox, for its part, took the plunge because it had an agreement with MCA that it would launch videodiscs no later than 1978. Both players will be nationally available in 1980 when, despite Magnavox's test launches this year, RCA's greater number of dealers and lower price tag may give...
