...Tuscumbia, Ala. He strummed all the Southern heartstrings he plays so lovingly. He enjoyed the music of Country Stars Charlie Daniels and Larry Gatlin, and shared the stage with former Alabama Governor George Wallace. He told how he had toured the Gettysburg battlefield with his friends Anwar Sadat and Menachem Begin, and how it reminded him that "we Southerners believe in the nobility of courage on the battlefield, and because we understand the cost of war, we also believe in the nobility of peace." Carter's not so subtle point: he has worked for arms control, while Reagan encourages...
...Israelis took the embassy moves with sorrow, they expressed undisguised anger over the American decision to abstain on the U.N. vote rather than cast its veto. Ignoring the provocative nature of the Knesset vote that had led to the U.N. action, Prime Minister Menachem Begin blasted the U.S. decision as "amazing!"

...Saudi statement was also designed to step up pressure on Egyptian President Anwar Sadat to abandon the Camp David peace process and break relations with Israel. Shortly after the Knesset's action on Jerusalem, Sadat shot off an 18-page letter to Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin, explaining that he had no choice but to suspend the Egyptian-Israeli talks on Palestinian autonomy (see box). Sadat's decision won him plaudits among his estranged Arab neighbors. Morocco's King Hassan II and Jordan's King Hussein have joined the Saudis in trying to lure Sadat back...
