...demon, of course, is the fat, rapacious Arab sheikh whose grosslyextravagant pleasures are financed by the hard-earned money of the western people. Miles Ignotus is quite explicit in this respect, including not only the Arabs, but other Third World peoples as well: "military dictators and megalomaniacal kings of OPEC," "narrow self-appointed ruling groups (elections have become a rarity in Asia and Africa) fond of shiny black cars and numbered Swiss accounts," not to mention the by-now infamous "OPEC extortionists" and "Arab blackmailers...

Israel is building a road around the oilfields so that it can supply its forces further south at El Tur and at Sharm el Sheikh, which controls the entrance to the Gulf of Aqaba. But in a unique and symbolically important part of the agreement, Israel will share parts of the existing road inside the Egyptian corridor until its own road is completed.

After all, by now just about everyone who visits Israel on similar junkets gets a VIP excursion to the Golan Heights or the Jordan River or Sharm el Sheikh. But, except for last week's 28 lucky fund raisers, how many can come home with the exquisite one-upmanship of the ultimate trip: "How I was captured by the Egyptians during my U.J.A. tour of Israel...
