Three Religions. To further his fact-finding and get-acquainted goals, Muskie spent 90 minutes in a private discussion with Prime Minister Golda Meir, dined with Foreign Affairs Minister Abba Eban and spent more than an hour with former Premier David Ben-Gurion. With temperatures in the high 80s, Roman Catholic Muskie performed an ecumenical triple play: he took off his shoes to enter the Moslem Dome of the Rock, perched a yarmulke on his head at the Wailing Wall and talked with a Christian priest at the shrine of the Holy Sepulcher...

Egypt, adopting a "programmatic," one-step-at-a-time approach, wants an agreement on Israel's withdrawal from occupied lands before it negotiates further. But Mrs. Meir, in a speech to the Knesset, emphasized that until the whole package is tied up in a signed peace treaty, "not one Israeli soldier is going to be withdrawn from the administered territories...
