...interest in the Arab-Israeli conflict heightened and the sympathies of their leaders beginning to tilt toward the Palestinians, a potentially powerful political force could emerge as a new domestic factor in U.S. policymaking for the Middle East. In the weeks ahead, however, Washington's course seems reasonably clear. The Administration is likely to await the outcome of the three-day summit between Begin and Sadat, scheduled to begin in Haifa the first week in September. A few days later Bob Strauss will return to the region to try to quicken the pace of the Camp David process...
...White House statement asserted that "these criminal defendants have a clear interest in making false and sensational charges in an effort to bargain for leniency."

The multimillion-dollar question is how much. By last week, American Airlines and McDonnell Douglas, the manufacturers of the DC-10, had offered $30 million to the families of 112 victims if they would settle instead of go to court, and more settlement offers are forthcoming. What the airline and the air plane builder are trying to avoid...
