It had no other powerful friend besides the U.S., Carter noted with unusual fervor. Sadat had made a startling gesture for peace and Israel still quibbled. The Arabs were growing more hostile, richer, and they have enormous manpower.

Bernstein's descriptions of mountaineering are not likely to move the sedentary or in crease the sales of boots and tents. Yet no one who reads Mountain Passages should have any trouble understanding...
...intimidation have been more direct. School buses full of American children have been stoned. One executive's Cadillac was burned, while an Exxon employee narrowly escaped injury in southerly Ahwaz when a Molotov cocktail was hurled at his car. The entire U.S. community was thrown into its deepest shock two weeks ago by the assassination of Oil Executive Paul Grimm in Ahwaz...
