Whatever the cause of Garner Ted's disappearance, his father smilingly insisted last week that the errant lad was in Colorado, making the best of his exile.

Last year Washington conceived the idea of "proximity discussions," in which the Egyptians, who refuse to negotiate directly with the Israelis, could do so through a third party, probably U.S. Assistant Secretary of State Joseph Sisco. When the idea was first proposed last year, Egypt agreed but Israel held out. Secretary of State William Rogers had proposed a six-point plan...
