The two days of talks between Israel's Moshe Dayan and Egypt's Mohammed Ibrahim Kamel were presided over by U.S. Secretary of State Cyrus Vance, who had arranged the meeting in the hope that something might come of getting the parties face to face once again...

If postal workers do, in fact, win a fat raise, it would not only lead to higher postage rates, but leave no hope of holding the line on the Teamsters, the Auto Workers, the Electrical Workers and Building and Construction Trades unions next year...
