Clearly something had to be done. Personal attacks by the Israeli and Egyptian leaders were getting nastier. The Administration was unhappy about Sadat's repeated threats to abrogate the United Nations mandate to police the Sinai II disengagement line-an action that could once more throw the area into chaos. Washington was also worried about Saudi Arabia's pressure on Sadat to reconcile his differences with Syrian President Hafez Assad.

Or there may be things no one has ever mentioned in the press. The surprise resignation of Willy Brandt two years ago, and the recent revelations about President Kennedy's extra-martial affairs, should have taught us never to be surprised about what politicians do in their spare time...
