Descending the El Al ramp, Sadat was greeted warmly by President Ephraim Katzir and Premier Menachem Begin. "Thank you," said Sadat as he shook hands. Answered Begin: "You are welcome. Thank you for coming to visit us." Never before had the Middle East witnessed such a moment?the first visit ever of an Arab leader to the Jewish state?and Israelis could scarcely believe what they were seeing.

Still another couple inhabits the yard, finally: two young adults on the verge of making decisions that will determine the course of their lives. As Ephraim, a young man who leaves Trinidad in frustration, Roland Smart communicates that anger forcing him to abandon his pregnant lover is justified. But as his lover, Karen Ford presents the other side of the same suffocating reality. He may be free to leave; she is trapped, forced to give in, obliged to abandon her dreams of self-respect and upward mobility...
