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." Translation: he remained upset about Israeli demands that the future of Jerusalem should not be discussed, and angry that the Israelis were forging ahead with plans for more Jewish settlements in the Israeli-occupied West Bank...
...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.

Every proposal on security made by General [Kamal Hassan] Ali [Egyptian Foreign Minister] is a contradiction of the Camp David agreement.

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...
...there are no clichés. There is even an occasional touch of Kipling in his prose: "Above the village the scant ruins of a castle sat on a fang of rock, accessible only by a precarious path above a 200 foot drop. From this seemingly impregnable strong hold Hassan-i-Sabbah, the 'Old Man of the Mountains,' had ruled . . . and his successors had sat like spiders at the center of their web, for 170 years until Hulagu and his Mongols stormed over the pass...
