...Cairo this week, Israeli Foreign Minister Moshe Dayan and Egyptian Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Boutros Ghali will begin negotiating details of the border opening. For normalization to take full effect, Egypt's new People's Assembly, to be elected this month, must revoke 30 years of legislation that made it a crime for Egyptians to deal with Israelis. Sadat's aides are convinced normalization of relations is their trump card in the next stage of talks, on autonomy for the West Bank and Gaza. Says one Egyptian diplomat: "If we make significant progress...
...ugly sight of Israeli civilians attacking soldiers of their own army was an apt symbol of the country's current acrimonious mood. During an emotional Cabinet meeting last week, Weizman and Foreign Minister Moshe Dayan fought successfully to prevent Begin from offering his hard-line plan for limited self-rule at the start of the autonomy talks. Instead, the two ministers won Cabinet approval to use the Begin plan only as an informal "guideline" during the negotiations...
...leaders rejected that proposal bluntly. Over the next two years, Vance met with Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko nine times, painstakingly searching out the compromises that finally led to last week's SALT II agreement.

In an interview with TIME'S Strobe Talbott, Vance described the experience...

Often he is pictured with Egypt's Gamal Abdel Nasser, his hero, who died in 1970.

Yet Gaddafi has no official title or post in the Libyan state or government, and he has never allowed himself to be promoted above colonel. He prefers to be addressed...
...Begin arrived for breakfast, and Carter offered him Vance's proposals, which were not very different from those that Dayan had been urging the Israeli Cabinet to accept. The main points: ? Israel will drop its demand for preferential rights to buy guaranteed quantities of Egyptian oil if Cairo will sell oil to Jerusalem on nondiscriminatory commercial terms. The U.S. will extend to 15 years the five-year commitment that it made in 1975 to guarantee Israel's supply of oil if that country is unable to meet its needs on the world market. ?Egypt will drop its demand...
