...first time, Begin and Sadat chose to hold all of their sessions in private, with no aides present. Apparently the two leaders concentrated on the broader issues of Middle East politics and how they might deal jointly with sudden crises. The private sessions underscored the personal friendship that has suddenly and surprisingly blossomed between the leaders. Sadat was the one who sought to break through the formality. During the talks he said to Begin: "It's time we called each other by our first names." A bit startled, Begin replied, "But Mr. President, I am only a Prime Minister...
First there was the crash in May of the American Airlines DC-10 in Chicago, taking the lives of 275 people in the worst U.S. air disaster. Lloyd's underwriters hold 16.5% of the coverage of that flight, which could cost them many millions. If the plane is found defective, the product liability claims against the builder, McDonnell Douglas, would be even larger. Lloyd's underwriters carry much of that insurance...
...match turned in the fourth game of the fourth set, when Borg staved off four game points and broke service to take a 3-1 lead.

It was a painfully slow demise for the beast; to minimize the danger to the protesters, Eythorsson had removed the explosive cap from the harpoon.

...like Marinetti. They wanted to construct. Hence their special relationship to the young Communist state. Today no revolutionary government that had just seized control of a vast, economically foundering country would bother with artists or art schools. The U.S.S.R. did so after the Revolution, thanks to two circumstances that hold true in no modern capitalist state. Print was thinly spread among the masses, radio almost unheard of and there was no television. Moreover, most of the proletariat was not only illiterate, but steeped in the tradition of the icon. So ideological control of static visual images was necessary...
