...package covering Egypt's foreign-currency needs. Though that will allow Sadat to import enough wheat to keep his people fed, they still hunger for the peace-borne prosperity he has led them to expect.

If that happens, it may take another ten or 15 years before we get another important Arab leader who is willing to go as far as he has." That is a fact that Israelis, as well as their supporters...
...secret message, he would first have to factor the product-in other words, extract the original two prime numbers that are the source of the decoding key. But even in the computer age, factoring, which can involve trying out seemingly endless combinations of numbers, is an extremely time-consuming process. While it may be easy to factor a low number like 323, Rivest calculates that if the product were, say, 200 digits long, it would take even the fastest and most powerful computers millions of centuries to factor it. Unless some mathematical whiz devised a new high-speed factoring technique...
...hope of succeeding unless unions begin accepting smaller pay increases than they have come to expect in the past several years. Says COWPS Director Barry Bosworth: "Labor groups did not cause the food and energy price increases that initiated this inflation, but they are part and parcel of the process that keeps it going.

While it is true that Bakke's admission is of almost no consequence in the face of broader issues the case raises, the decision to admit him, like the ruling against quotas, reflects a difficulty in legal process. If the members of the Court were not prepared to admit this kind of data from the amici briefs to weigh in their decisions, they should have remanded the case back to the trial court...
