...Israeli military band played first the Egyptian national anthem, By God of Old, Who Is My Weapon, and then the Israeli Hatikvah. In a hushed, deeply moving tableau, Sadat walked along the receiving line with Israeli Premier Menachem Begin to greet the old and resolute enemies: former Premiers Yitzhak Rabin and Golda Meir, Foreign Minister Moshe Dayan, Ariel Sharon, "Israel's Patton," who thrust Israeli armor deep into Egypt in the October...
...seems to be a refreshing contrast to the casual, open-shirt informality of the Labor governments. The Premier is rarely seen in public without a jacket and tie, usually bows to the Israeli flag (no other Premier did this) and is scrupulously polite to his staff.

Says a Labor-appointed official who was kept in his post by Begin: "The Premier is a very proud Jew, very conscious of history, very...

In my visit to Carter last April, I told him that if we are not going to make good preparations for Geneva, there will be a setback. I proposed a working group under [Secretary of State Cyrus] Vance to contact all the parties concerned so that we could start at Geneva discussing the substance...
Looking confident and relaxed, Sadat inspected an Israeli honor guard and shook hands with an astonishing array of Israeli dignitaries. Among those on the receiving line: former Premiers Yitzhak Rabin and Golda Meir. Sadat greeted her with delight: "Madame, I have waited a long time to meet you." He smiled broadly when introduced to Foreign Minister Moshe Dayan?Israel's great hero of the 1967 Six-Day War?and was particularly eager to meet Agriculture Minister Ariel Sharon, who commanded Israel's Sinai forces in the 1973 October War. "I planned to catch you across the canal," said Sadat...
