Egypt was the first stop on his itinerary. Haig met with Sadat for two hours at the Egyptian leader's villa outside Cairo and declared that Sadat's "strategic appraisal closely coincides with President Reagan's own world views."

Walters can talk sense with Sadat, but at other times can ask the most banal of fan magazine questions: "What was your biggest thrill?" Her best performances must occur offscreen, when by exerting charm or power or both she persuades people in the news that they had better be interviewed first by her. Nobody has had such...
