...double tragedy drove Sadat to redoubled rage. At the military funeral for the slain 15, he lashed away furiously at both the Palestinian liberation movement and Cyprus. Yasser Arafat's followers, he said, were "little people and idiots." Sadat announced a break in diplomatic relations with Cyprus' Greek government and dismissed President Spyros Kyprianou as "a dwarf (the Egyptian is 5 ft. 9 in., while the Cypriot is 5 ft. 4 in.). "Cyprus should explain to me," said a Sadat close to tears, "the treachery that was committed against my sons...

The motivations remain cloudy, and so the ending, which features a confused Donny cradling the slightly dented Bobby...
During the early days of automotion, battery-powered cars were the rage: in 1900, fully a third of the autos in New York City, Boston and Chicago ran on electricity. Now, in the era of the oil crisis, the electric auto has started to return, on drawing boards and occasionally on the road, moving slowly but polluting not at all.
