...lancers, he suddenly glanced to his left, broke into a broad grin and roared: "Barbara, so you did come." He stretched out his hand to greet Barbara Walters of ABC. A moment later, he was shouting "Walter!" and pumping the hand of CBS Anchorman Walter Cronkite, whose double interview with Sadat and Begin had set the stage for the visit. Sadat clearly enjoyed the company of these media celebrities. Aboard the plane, he tweaked Walters about her much-publicized ABC contract: "Barbara, you make a million dollars a year, and my salary is only $12,000." "Yes, Mr. President...
...Sadat and Begin together began as a three-way scramble among the U.S. commercial networks on Nov. 12, when Begin was quoted in U.S. newspapers as welcoming a visit from Sadat. CBS then asked its bureaus in Cairo, Tunis and Washington to approach Egyptian officials about arranging a satellite interview between Sadat and Cronkite, who had met each other on several previous occasions.

When ABC Correspondent Peter Jennings in Cairo broached the idea to Sadat during an untelevised discussion Monday, Sadat said he would go before the Knesset, if formally invited. That night ABC news showed Jennings paraphrasing his talk with Sadat, and then cut to a taped interview with Begin, who offered Sadat a verbal invitation. "Cronkite took...
...grabbed a chair and threw it at me." Snyman then gave a vivid demonstration of how Biko had hit his head during the outburst-only to admit later that he had not seen the final incident himself. In subsequent testimony, two witnesses offered sharply varying accounts of the same interview. Furthermore, it was disclosed that the "confessions" Snyman referred to were actually dated between Sept. 20 and Sept. 30-a week or more after Biko's death...
