...cautious vote of confidence was based on Secretary of State Henry Kissinger's latest diplomatic foray into the Middle East. The participants were well informed. They knew that another Israeli withdrawal from the Sinai seemed in the making, in exchange for a declaration of nonbelligerency in some form from Egyptian President Anwar Sadat. Yet the group was uneasy. Asked a woman: "But what will Sadat's successor do? Will he honor an agreement?" Replied Bookbinder: "Perfidy is always possible, but we cannot live on the basis that an adversary may not live up to an agreement...
...just about the time of his appearance. Boyle shows up in, and helps make work, the two sharpest scenes: an encounter with a blind hermit (Gene Hackman, doing a dexterous comic cameo), in which the monster is assaulted by the hermit's well-intentioned blundering; and a brief foray into show biz, in which Frankenstein and his creation put on a fractured vaudeville.

As layoffs and unemployment continued to spread alarmingly, he promised a press conference this week to explain his economic policies (see ECONOMY & BUSINESS). To quiet grumbling from the Hill that he has drifted out of touch, Ford met with a range of congressional leaders both...
...made some positive gestures of conciliation even while they remained deadlocked over the intricacies of agreement. Syria began a propaganda campaign to explain to other Arab nations why it was willing to make an agreement with Israel. Israel pointedly ignored the fact that last week's unsuccessful Palestinian foray had been launched from Syria. Equally significant, Premier-designate Yitzhak Rabin at week's end put together a Knesset majority coalition and a Cabinet that present overall a much more conciliatory face than Israel has shown in a long, long time...
