...first rays. Godfrey Sperling, Christian Science Monitor's journalistic breakfast impresario, leading 38 colleagues up to front door just like wanted guests. No Marine Band in the foyer, but can almost hear a Sousa march as we proceed into State Dining Room. Elegant E-shaped table with cut fall flowers. Feel like Congressmen with votes in pockets.

Some other delegates also stressed Arab pique at the Camp David agreement. Iraqi Oil Minister Tayeh Abdul-Karim blasted it as "a policy of surrender" and made clear that he thought the Saudi policy of "moderation" on oil prices had done nothing to advance the Arab cause in the Middle East peace negotiations. Saudi Representative Abdul Hadi Taher replied bluntly that Middle...
