Though Nancy went along only on one of the 13 shuttles to Damascus, she managed to meet nearly every dignitary her husband dealt with during the month, from Hafez Assad to King Hussein to Moshe Dayan. Almost invariably she would stand with her right knee bent, so her willowy 6-ft. figure would not tower over shorter men. In addition, she touched a few bases that Henry missed, managing to meet with a passel of VIPs and not-so-VIPs, ranging from the Baron and Baroness Edmond de Rothschild (at a swank restaurant near Jerusalem) to Dr. Mieczyslaw Rodziewicz...

Defense Minister Moshe Dayan went on television with a grim estimate of the situation: "When Kissinger arrives here, he may find a battlefield instead of a negotiation table...
...this forbidding atmosphere, the U.S. Secretary of State prepared to plunge this week with all the vigor that marked his earlier Middle East success in establishing disengagement between Israel and Egypt. Building toward future peace talks in Geneva, Kissinger in Washington had already discussed the dimensions of disengagement with Dayan, who brought him Israel's concept of limited withdrawal from the Golan. Kissinger had also talked with Syria's General Hikmat Chahabi, whose outline understandably called for a greater Israeli withdrawal. But Kissinger obviously thought there was enough agreement between the two that aides talked about a Kissinger...
