Begin was in a notably euphoric mood when he reported to a somewhat skeptical Knesset on his latest travels. With a touch of awe in his voice, the Premier declared that "they played the Hatikva [the Israeli national anthem] in Cairo." Shouted right-wing Backbencher Geula Cohen: "They will play it in Amman [Jordan] as well, if you give them Jerusalem!" But the members of parliament were generally appreciative until Begin mentioned the only new agreement to come from the trip: Sadat had agreed that the Israelis could keep a laundry at Kibbutz Neot-Sinai, a mile east...
...joyous as the occasion. Reports TIME White House Correspondent Christopher Ogden: "None of the warmth or festiveness was lost in the cavernous, 45-ft.-high tent, which somehow, perhaps because of the informal table hopping, seemed almost cozy.

An adulatory hush came over the room as she began to speak in her rambling, stammering, repetitive...
City Opera has done well by Argento. Set Designer John Conklin's haunted house is properly spooky, and the opera's shifts in time and mood are made decisive by Gilbert Hemsley's lighting. Conductor Julius Rudel kept things going so smoothly one almost forgot that this was a world premiere, the first time for everyone. For Rita Shane there can be only praise. Her acting was fiery, her singing confident, if uneven. It is hard to think of anyone, including Sills, who could have truly commanded the part. Miss Havisham's Fire burns a long...
