Sadat in those days was optimistic, and thought that peace could come quickly with the backing of the U.S. When Henry Kissinger began his shuttle diplomacy to negotiate a Sinai disengagement, Sadat wrapped him in the full Arab embrace and called him "my dear friend Henry." But the momentum died. A Geneva conference was delayed. The Syrians postponed a disengagement on the Golan Heights for months while they quibbled over details. Then U.S. policy became paralyzed by Watergate and the collapse of Richard Nixon's authority. When Gerald Ford became President, Sadat tried again for a peace agreement...
...honest. Vance is honest. Carter is playing the game evenhanded with everyone, really. And that is what we anticipate from the U.S. When Nixon came here, millions hailed him because they wanted to tell you, in America, that we are, we want to be friends, and very dear friends. I have dealt with three Presidents-Nixon, Ford and this Carter. I can say that everything is improving...
...reality blend that the negotiators are at a bureaucratic level, which guarantees that no significant progress could be made until Premier Begin and President Sadat had met in Ismailia.

She found herself envying the new Evangelicals but not really able to join them. Thirty miles and several worlds away from Darien, Correspondent Jeanne Saddler was impressed by a group of Evangelicals who minister...
Sadat continued the discussion in a two-hour private discussion with Begin. Remarked the Egyptian President at one point: "We've always had a Kissinger between us. I'm happy to see that we get along so well without dear Henry." In none of the talks did Sadat show any interest in bilateral negotiations that might lead to a separate peace settlement. That, he said, "would split the Arab world and put Egypt and myself in an impossible position...
