...ending of a blockade of the Red Sea at Bab el Mandeb. Officially, the Egyptians deny that any such blockade exists. In fact, Egyptian ships have been patrolling the strait, mines have been laid there, and a small fleet of merchantmen is tied up in the Israeli port of Eilat as a result. The blockade was the cause of a fiery meeting of the Israeli Cabinet last week. After accepting Kissinger's terms, the Cabinet had second thoughts about the nonmention of the understanding about the blockade. The eventual decision, however, was to accept the U.S. proposal "in principle...
...Peace Boulevard." The mood was starkly different in Suez itself. The Israelis hold three quarters of the port city. The residential quarters remain in Egyptian hands, but the port, the oil refineries and the suburbs are occupied by Israeli troops. On all the main boulevards leading from Ismailia down into the port city, there was evidence of bitter fighting. Whole blocks of apartment buildings have been destroyed.

...costume includes a baby blue pantsuit with flowered muffler, a yellow negligee and gold toreador pants with a white sleeveless top.

Stewart is an adult playing a kid's game...

The plan, even at the outset, will destroy the residential communities of Cambridge port and Riverside, where, already, homeowners are selling out to un principled real estate speculators who intend to turn the area into a land of mini condominiums priced beyond the pocketbooks of most present residents. If you're real you'll understand the truth of this town/gown scenario and disregard the liberal profile...
...Port Said is a ghost town. The yellow and whitewashed buildings are mute. The Sheherazade nightclub, the new Metropole Hotel and the Bank of Alexandria are scarred by bomb blasts. We were escorted into this canal-side city by Egyptian officers. They kicked down the door of the former British officers' club and led us through a billiards room where the stale smell of dust and decay hung over the neatly racked cues and a picture of the late President Nasser. The rules of the game of snooker in fine curlicued print hung on the wall. The balcony opened...
