Heikal's Fall. Any doubts about the scope of Sadat's power were settled last week when al Ahram, Egypt's most prestigious newspaper, appeared without the familiar column of Editor Mohammed Hassanein Heikal, 50. Heikal's "Frankly Speaking" column customarily appeared on Friday-the equivalent of a Western paper's Sunday issue -when al Ahram's circulation soared to 772,000. That increase was at least in part due to the column, since the Arab world read Heikal as the semiofficial spokesman of Cairo's government. Sadat not only fired Heikal from...

Vacationing in Rome last week, Heikal observed: "Unfortunately, when people are desperate, they behave desperately. Many fedayeen have reached the point of desperation where they are determined not to permit the world one day's peace. The fedayeen are curbed for the moment, but they have more manpower, are better armed and better trained than ever before. The quality of their men is better, they are dedicated and perfectly willing to die if necessary. Those boys in Munich were prepared to kill. But they...
