Still, Mrs. Meir's Knesset speech was not a definite rejection. Nor have Israel's opponents thus far rejected Rogers' proposals. Egypt's President Gamal Abdel Nasser, who arrived in Moscow for a week-long official visit, met three times with Soviet Communist Boss Leonid Brezhnev and Premier Aleksei Kosygin, principally to discuss the U.S. overture. At the United Nations, Russian Ambassador Yakov Malik indicated that Moscow might be amenable to something less than complete Israeli withdrawal. Russia's Ambassador to Washington, Anatoly Dobrynin, made the same point six weeks ago in the private discussions...
...Aswan's first stage, Osman underbid his only competitor by nearly one half. Millions of tons of granite had to be moved in 140° heat, and Osman found his biggest problem to be the Soviet equipment, which had been accepted by Gamal Abdel Nasser as a condition of Russian aid. Soviet power shovels and drills could not cope with the granite, and trucks broke down in the heat. Osman convinced Nasser that only Swedish, British and Japanese equipment would get the $920 million job done on time. His project was completed on schedule, and now the turbines below...
...construct schools and gained national attention in 1952, when, in a record 60 days, he rebuilt a village that had been destroyed by British troops in retaliation for guerrilla attacks.

He seized on the substance of the U.S. note, which apparently did not specify Israeli withdrawal from "all" occupied Arab territories. "If the Middle East conflict is to be settled either militarily or politically, we shall make no concession of one inch of Arab territory," he said. "It is being said that an offer has been made for an Israeli withdrawal from Sinai and the West bank of the Jordan but not from...
...Nasser and leaders from six other Arab nations had just concluded a three-day summit in Tripoli that had served as a great pep rally for new efforts against Israel. They discussed the lack of action on the eastern (Syria-Jordan) front, and Libya's new strongman, Colonel Muammar Gaddafi, pointedly criticized "the absence from the battle of some Arab forces." Even as the Arab leaders conferred, the Syrian army, as if stung by the criticism, started strong attacks against Israel. Massed artillery began the offensive with bombardment of Israeli positions. Under the cover of the barrage, Syrian tanks...
