Helped along by the amiable rapport that Israeli Defense Minister Ezer Weizman has developed with his Egyptian counterpart, Mohammed Abdel Ghany Gamassy, the two sides made some limited progress last week at the second round of the military talks in Cairo.

The louder the debate, of course, the higher the ratings...

Irion's home in Illinois was only five minutes away from the Medinah golf club where the 1975 U.S. Open was held. Medinah was built by the Shriners, members of the Ancient Arabic Order of Nobles of the Mystic Shrine. The course features a resplendent mock Moorish clubhouse and is laid out around Lake Kadijah, named after Mohammed's wife. In fact, those same Shriners are responsible for building that nondescript...
