...scarcely the most burning issue of foreign policy. Some members of a Cabinet-level policy review committee favored selling military equipment to King Hassan II of Morocco; others on the panel feared that doing so would tie the U.S. too closely to another shaky throne. When a story about the disagreement appeared in the Washington Post last October, hardly anyone noticed-except Jimmy Carter, whose wrath led to an extreme step that no other Administration had taken to try to stop leaks to the press...
Even though he had been the one to break off the negotiations last month, Sadat was anxious that talks resume among the three negotiators: Egyptian Foreign Minister Kamal Hassan Ali, Israeli Interior Minister Yosef Burg, and U.S. Special Envoy Sol Linowitz. Sadat still had plenty of misgivings about the Israelis, and he demanded last week that they stop setting "preconditions or faits accomplis."

...talks, it means I want to negotiate. But we have differences of opinion. If Egypt's proposals on security are adopted, there will be permanent bloodshed.

There was no evidence of ill feeling between Sadat and Khalil. The outgoing Premier had expressed a desire to return to private life and care for his wife, who is in poor health...
...night last October, two gunmen burst into the Isfahan bedroom of Anglican Bishop Hassan Barnaba Dehqani-Tafti and his British-born wife Margaret, spraying them with automatic-pistol fire. Four bullets pierced the pillow near the bishop's head. Amazingly, he was not hit, though his wife received a bullet in the arm. The bishop, president of the Central Synod which includes all Anglicans in the Middle East, fled to exile in Cyprus...
