Actually, depending on which way all the Middle East dominoes eventually fall, the ultimate result of Sadat's decision might be peace. United Nations Secretary-General Kurt Waldheim was in Moscow last week to confer with Swedish Ambassador Gunnar Jarring about reactivating Jarring's long-stalled U.N. peace negotiations next month. Now that Sadat has regained popular support at home and is finally convinced that the Soviets will not lead or follow him into war, he may very well decide to try again for a settlement. The possibilities for accommodation will be clearer this week after Egypt...

They have been stalled for months because of Israeli intransigence, and he will almost certainly fail...
...executives' main goal is to lure more young Swedes into the country's chronically insufficient pool of blue-collar laborers. At present, "the kids want to go to the university or into civil service, not industry," complains Volvo's Chairman Gunnar Engellau. Already, more than one-third of Volvo's and Saab's blue-collar jobs are filled by Finns, Danes, Norwegians, Yugoslavs, Italians and other foreigners...
