...press conferences in his last year, Nixon said: "I have a quality which I guess I must have inherited from my Midwestern mother and father, which is that the tougher it gets, the cooler I get." Many who knew him well doubted that claim. They saw, or thought they saw, rage and consuming bitterness beneath the façade. But he did display amazing endurance and (with a few lapses) a remarkable public calm during more than a year of savage at tacks and adversity...
Frank Grinnel, a retired trucker himself, is the organizer of the affair. "I've been associated with the Roadeo since 1949," he says as he unloads equipment from the back of a station wagon. The beer cooler goes in the shade by the hangar. "Yes, we've been having these for years now. Used to be there was more interest, more people turn out. But it'll be all right, you'll see."

...beginning to suspect that many seemingly contradictory meteorological fluctuations are actually part of a global climatic upheaval.

Egyptians dubbed Kissinger "the magician" after he piloted a similar shuttle to a disengagement agreement between their forces and Israel's last January-and they were certain that he could do it with Syria and Israel. In Alexandria, where the weather was cooler than in Cairo, Egyptian President Anwar Sadat received Kissinger and told newsmen that "my friend, Dr. Henry" would get his agreement. Foreign Minister Ismail Fahmy effusively estimated the chances at 80%. But others were not so sure, least of all the Kissinger party. "The two positions are still far apart," said one high U.S. official...
