Barring disaster, the Begin-Sadat Christmas meetings could produce an umbrella declaration of principles and perhaps a token arrangement of mutual good will. After that, the Cairo conference already in session could itself be raised to the ministerial level for purposes of negotiating a detailed settlement. Sadat has told TIME (see interview) of his willingness to make his arrangements with Begin, and then inform the other Arab states that he has negotiated a framework in which they too can negotiate. In effect, Sadat is thinking of a separate peace with sequels?leaving the other Arabs to work on their...
...Pyramids themselves. We do know that not far from this resthouse Israeli and Egyptian negotiators have been meeting now for two weeks in an old hotel. It is in keeping with the spirit of a region where mirage and reality blend that the negotiators are at a bureaucratic level, which guarantees that no significant progress could be made until Premier Begin and President Sadat had met in Ismailia.

...rise in show business, even to so stratospheric a level as The Tramp's, and there comes an evening of the Long Knives. For Chaplin, night came early and stayed late.

The decision, which will not be made until Parliament debates the issue in the next few months, undoubtedly will be some combination of several of these alternatives...
...subject to a heavy tariff. The reference prices probably will be pegged to the cost of producing and transporting Japanese steel. The aim is to stop foreign "dumping" of steel (that is, selling of imported metal below cost) and to bring import prices close to the U.S. price level. But by some estimates the increases announced last week would raise American prices by as much as $40 a ton above the reference prices for imports?which ironically are supposed to be enforced starting Feb. 1, the very day that the first Bethlehem-Inland hikes take effect. That could well enable...
