...about 1,500 opponents of Nyerere's regime. Mozambique's socialist rulers have herded up to 10,000 "undesirables," including political dissidents, into primitive "reeducation camps." Iraq's xenophobic Baathist socialists have not held national elections since they came to power in 1968, and any critic of the Ahmed Hassan Bakr regime is quickly arrested by the Soviet-trained secret police...

Sadat, who customarily eats a late breakfast and skips lunch, sipped juice and coffee while the five other participants-Begin, Dayan, Deputy Premier Yigael Yadin, Sadat Aide Hassan Kamel and Egyptian Socialist Liberal Party Leader Mustafa Kamel Murad-ate heartily.

The Moroccan King has met before with other Israeli leaders: his last such secret...
Dayan considered Hassan's message so important that he returned to Israel-to Premier Begin's surprise-for discussions and perhaps fresh instructions. The Foreign Minister spent 80 minutes with Begin and three top aides: Major General Yitzhak Hoki, head of Mossad (Israel's equivalent of the CIA), Brigadier General Ephraim Poran, Begin's intelligence adviser, and Eliahu Ben-Eliassar, director-general of the Premier's office. Dayan discussed the need for alternative diplomatic approaches in case of a Geneva conference impasse. He also urged Begin to tone down all talk of new settlements, including...
