...years ago, he wandered through secondhand bookshops and bought a set of the complete works of Zane Grey; his favorite author, he once said, was Lloyd C. Douglas (The Robe), whose novels he discovered while he was in prison. He lives with his attractive, half-British second wife, Gehan, and their four children in a comfortable house at Giza, a Cairo suburb...
Arabs last week were proud not only of their armies' telling punches in the latest round of the Middle East war, but of their own relative maturity and realism. That new attitude was typified by Egypt's first lady, Mrs. Gehan Sadat, as she visited wounded soldiers in Cairo's hospitals and donated blood to the Red Crescent, the Moslem equivalent of the Red Cross.

He prefers to spend as much time as possible with his half Egyptian, half British second wife, Gehan, their three daughters and their son Gamal, 14, as well as with Sadat's two collies, Lassie and Whip. There are also three other daughters, all in their 20s and married to army officers. They are Sadat's children by his first wife; he is still legally married...
