...framework" for peace between Egypt and Israel that has emerged out of the Camp David summit meeting is the greatest harbinger for lasting peace in the Western world in our century. President Carter has earned the Nobel Prize for Peace; there can be no other claimant in the field...
...demands of dissenting national groups such as the Crimean Tartars (deported by Stalin to Siberia and who wish to return to their homeland), or the Jews and Volga Germans (who wish to emigrate to Israel or Germany), do not pose an automatic ideological challenge--though when linked to the protest of intellectuals they can form a serious challenge.

He fought in Sinai with the army during the 1973 October War and returned to invest $17,000 in a seaside restaurant. Now Shmuel hopes bravely that "the people who brought me here will take care of me." But in the barren, hard-baked south, between a range of sawtooth mountains and the clearwater, coral-reefed Gulf of Aqaba, the government retained ownership of the land. In Ofira (pop. 1,000), residents enjoy subsidized rents that average $40 a month...
