...military side, the Egyptian President knows that he cannot realistically expect the massive aid Washington has been giving Israel-especially as the U.S. approaches an election year. Sadat would, nonetheless, like sophisticated defensive weapons: patrol boats for the Mediterranean coastline and the Suez Canal, the F-5E "defensive" jet fighter, and the TOW wire-guided antitank missile, which Israel used effectively in 1973 against Egyptian tanks in the Sinai. He will not ask Washington to stop aid to Israel, but he will reiterate a request that it not heat up the arms race by giving Jerusalem advanced weapons like...

...From its Mediterranean terminus at Pelusium, the so-called Eastern Canal probably headed south for ten miles, veered across what is now the Suez Canal near the town of Qantara, and approached Lake Timsah near Ismailia, where old canal remnants have previously been found. Though wind, sand and irrigation works have wiped out much of the canal's course, Geologists Amihai Sneh, Tuvia Weissbrod and Itamar Perath hint at an intriguing possibility: the waterway may have split in two, one branch following a great east-west depression called Wadi Tumilat to link with the Nile, the other continuing south...

His work looked, and in deed was, Northern rather than Mediterranean, full of theoretical obsessions, flights of mysticism, involuted decor, heavy symbolism and transcendental yearnings. There have been greater abstract artists than Kupka, but none so unmistakably Slavic. Later, when Kupka's eminence as a pioneer of abstract art was recognized-his first completely abstract pictures were done around 1910-11-the French...
