...Sabbath massacre came on the eve of Israeli Premier Menachem Begin's scheduled departure for Washington, where he was to confer with President Carter this week on the derailed Middle East peace talks. Begin immediately went into a huddle with members of his Cabinet, then announced that he would postpone his visit to Washington for at least a week. Deeply shocked by the massacre in the midst of renewed efforts toward a Middle East peace settlement, the world waited anxiously for Israel's reaction, which in the past has been to retaliate for terrorism on its soil with...

...blown not just a fresh breeze but a whirlwind through the diplomacy of the Middle East. It was scarcely a month ago that Sadat made his historic trip to Jerusalem. Last Wednesday, exactly 26 days later, Egyptian and Israeli delegates were sitting down together in a Cairo conference room, in the very shadow of the pyramids, to lay the groundwork for full-scale peace talks. At the very moment that the session was being called to order, Israeli Premier Menachem Begin was headed for Washington to meet with President Carter, a sudden summit conference arranged in a matter of hours...

...Arabs refuse to accept; 3) in speaking to the Knesset, he was also acknowledging Israel's right to consider Jerusalem as its capital (even the U.S. maintains its embassy in Tel Aviv).

Expectations are that the two generals will quickly confer with a third, General Peter Walls, commander of Rhodesia's 45,000-man security forces. Rhodesia's whites generally accept majority rule as inevitable, but they oppose dismantling the white-led military and police. The cease-fire plan, however, calls for a merger of Walls' forces with guerrillas who owe allegiance to Black Nationalists Robert Mugabe and Joshua Nkomo. Thus prospects for an early peace in Rhodesia depend heavily on negotiations about security that involve three widely respected but relatively unknown soldiers. Brief profiles of the three...

Characteristically, Carter tackled several controversial problems simultaneously when he flew up to New York City early in the week to address the U.N. and confer with a raft of world statesmen. His 35-minute U.N. speech was restrained and unexceptional, although he did announce-without explaining further -that Washington and Moscow "are within sight of a significant agreement" in the SALT talks. The U.S., he said, was "willing to go as far as possible" to limit or cut its nuclear weapons. "On a reciprocal basis," he went on, the U.S. could immediately "reduce them by 10% or 20%, even...
