Despite the impasse, talks will resume this week in Herzlia, a seaside suburb of Tel Aviv. At midweek the regular negotiators will be joined by Sol Linowitz, President Carter's special envoy to the Middle East. Linowitz is also scheduled to see Sadat, Jordan's King Hussein and Saudi leaders during the course of the trip. The Israelis have been nervous about rumors that the Carter Administration is determined to accelerate the pace of the autonomy talks and reach an agreement that would be acceptable to the Palestinians, Jordanians and Saudis.

The F.F.A. has a suspicious habit of cutting choices to fit names in the news; Jimmy Carter and Anwar Sadat shared top honors, although Co-Peacemaker Menachem Begin was considered too rumpled.
