Actually, however, Sadat appears more interested in peace than war; it was Sadat, after all, who went a long step beyond his predecessor, Gamal Abdel Nasser, by assuring Jarring that Egypt is finally willing to recognize Israel's sovereignty. The Israelis doubt his sincerity, and they could be right. But so far Sadat has gone out of his way to give the impression that he is less intent on fighting than on solving Egypt's massive domestic problems. By word and gesture, he has set out to shift Egypt's mood from belligerent pan-Arabism to constructive...

From these, the committees dismissed three students, separated seven, required 35 to withdraw, suspended the requirement of 60 to withdraw, warned 168, admonished nine, and withdrew or dismissed complaints against 27 students.

The course of government under Demirel was a source of ever-increasing dismay to them...
...negotiate a peace themselves that would undoubtedly require concessions from both sides, the Arabs have been hoping that the U.N. and the Big Four powers would force the Israelis to give up the territories. Sadat, who is not yet strong enough to make the sort of concessions that his predecessor, Gamal Abdel Nasser, might have gotten away with, talked tough up to the last minute. Repeatedly, he threatened to renew the war unless Israel produced a timetable for its withdrawal from the territories...
