Kissinger very much needs a diplomatic breakthrough on the Golan Heights disengagement; otherwise, his fragile design for a Middle East settlement may fall apart. The problem is not made significantly easier by Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir's difficulties in putting together a viable government (see following story).

I greatly admire the abilities and intentions of Henry Kissinger, but even a man as brilliant as the Secretary of State cannot rise above a country's institutions." Because of his doubts over Nixon, said Heikal, "I began to differ with Sadat about the pace with which we were...
