"In this way," said Sadat, "the city shall be undivided." In Begin's letter, he uncompromisingly restated he Israeli position that "Jerusalem is one city indivisible...
...degree, that is changing. Because industrial peace is so vital to the white supremacist government of Prime Minister John Vorster, labor inspectors seldom object to the bending of apartheid rules even in South African-owned plants. Since the presence of the multinationals is much valued by the regime, they enjoy even more latitude in defying apartheid...
