At the outset, nobody was particularly optimistic, but in three days of talks the delegates narrowed the gap toward a Sinai settlement.

It begins by citing Fox Butterfield's "...penetrating analysis of events in China on the basis of such salient symbols as Chairman Hua's hairstyle." In a country in which thousands of people filled the streets of the capital last May in massive demonstrations against the housefly, the decision by Hua to at least physically imitate Mao is or paramount importance. The attempted ridicule of Mr. Butterfield was clearly misdirected...
