Jerusalem's reaction was prompt and predictable. At midweek, Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin told U.S. Ambassador Samuel Lewis that he would ask his Cabinet to reject the participation of the Europeans as long as they supported a P.L.O. peace role. The 68-year-old Prime Minister's resolve was in no way weakened the next day when a fall in his home hospitalized him with a broken left thigh. It was expected that the Cabinet meeting discussing the subject would be held at his bedside in Jerusalem's Hadassah Hospital...
...professed Israeli eagerness to reach a settlement, the two-day session at Cairo's elegant old Mena House hotel brought no tangible progress. Along with U.S. Ambassador to Egypt Alfred Atherton and Ambassador to Israel Samuel Lewis, the participants dutifully avowed their "dedication to the Camp David framework" in their closing statement.

Ahead lay many battles against obstinate employers as unions fought for recognition: the Homestead and Pullman strikes in the 1890s, the bloody 1937 Battle of the Overpass in Dearborn, Mich., when Walter and Victor Reuther were attempting to organize auto workers. But now, as the U.S. labor movement enters its second century, it faces equally serious problems: eroding membership and fading public support...
...almost always a mistake for readers to confuse the first person singular with the novelist. Almost. Conan Doyle was not John H. Watson, M.D. Samuel Clemens was not Huckleberry Finn. And Raymond Chandler was not Philip Marlowe. But, as his letters reveal, no author ever verged closer to his creation...
