...Soviet press retorted weakly that Sadat's move was meaningless because the treaty was "paralyzed" in any case. There was no mention of the fact that only last month at the 25th Party Congress, Party Boss Leonid Brezhnev had dismissed rumors of rift and pledged to strengthen Soviet-Egyptian relations. The U.S. was quietly delighted by Moscow's discomfort, especially because Cairo editorials likened the Soviet failure to honor the treaty to an old debacle in Egyptian-U.S. relations: the refusal by John Foster Dulles two decades ago to arm Egypt or finance the Aswan High...
...Middle East. In an article for the current issue of Foreign Policy magazine, Sheehan praises Kissinger as having been "at the apogee of his skill" during those negotiations (TIME, March 15). The article quotes directly from the dialogue of Kissinger's conversations with such leaders as Egyptian President Anwar Sadat, Israeli former Premier Golda Meir and Syrian President Hafez Assad...

...Pair of Foxes: "Kissinger was touched at once by [Egyptian President Anwar] Sadat's urbanity and charm [during their first meeting in 1973]; Sadat liked Kissinger's incisiveness, so refreshing after the naivete of [U.S. Secretary of State William] Rogers. However, the reports of their instant romance (soon to be dramatized by their public kissing) have been exaggerated. Essentially we glimpse a pair of foxes exchanging oaths of confidence, each of them intent on wielding the other for his own purpose...
