...October war had two consequences for Sadat. First, his limited success allowed him to recoup some of Egypt's national honor which had been squandered by Nasser's unsuccessful forays. Second, because Sadat could not conquer the Sinai through war, he recognized that it made sense to try to regain it through peace. His historic trip to Jerusalem in November 1977 constituted a daring and bold move for peace, for he risked angering the other Arab states in the region. But far from being solely altruistic.

...Crimson came, saw and conquered last weekend is to sell them short. They didn't conquer the opposition, they annihilated it. Aside from sweeping their six matches against the best teams in the country, the racquetwomen individually won 37 of 42 matches. No opponent walked off with a straight-game victory against a Harvard player, but coach Jack Barnaby's charges did just that in 27 individual matches...
