...negotiators are somewhat annoyed at Israeli attempts to delay any agreement on the treaty until the U.S. has formally agreed to pay the full cost of the withdrawal, including replacement of the two big Sinai airfields.

"We didn't ask them to build those two Sinai airfields or put in all that sophisticated intelligence equipment. They may balk, but they'd better realize that there's not much receptivity in the U.S. to the idea of our footing the bill...
...administration has already delayed further statements on this issue for several more weeks. By this time, many of the bonds will have matured, and we fear that the University will then say the question is moot and decline to take any stand at all against Manufacturers Hanover's policies.

Blandau later claimed that he had been misquoted in the press, but it seemed evident that he had given Steptoe and Edwards a bum rap. Though all scientists agree that Steptoe must document his claim, most do not regard his delay as a "failure to publish." Indeed, a scientific paper is usually not in print until from six months to a year after research is completed. Says Dr. Albert Decker of the New York Fertility Research Foundation, which is going ahead with its plans to present Steptoe with an award on Dec. 1: "You can't expect...
