...concept-direct negotiations between Israel and Egypt-has become a familiar one since the Six Day War, and Cairo quickly dismissed it. In a second, shorter speech in Alexandria last week Sadat asked: "Can anyone negotiate while his land is occupied? Did the U.S. negotiate with Japan after Pearl Harbor?" That left the principal Middle East adversaries-Egypt, Israel, Russia and the U.S.-all casting about to redefine their roles...

Athenagoras (and Archbishop Michael, who succeeded him after he was elected Ecumenical Patriarch in 1948) joined other Orthodox churchmen in a campaign for public recognition. Most states now recognize Orthodoxy as a "major faith," and Athenagoras' successors as Archbishop of the Americas (see following story) have offered prayers...
