Other points had been largely settled during President Ford's summit talks with Sadat at Salzburg, the Ford-Rabin meeting last month, and a series of exchanges between Kissinger and Rabin that have been under way since then, with Israeli Ambassador Simcha Dinitz as the somewhat fatigued courier. These points include...
Israeli Ambassador to Washington Simcha Dinitz flew down to the Virgin Islands last week, but not for the sunshine and sea breezes of Cancel Bay. Dinitz instead spent two days conferring secretly with vacationing Secretary of State Henry Kissinger about the status of Israeli-Egyptian negotiations over further disengagement in the Sinai.

While some guests congratulated Son Michael, 13, at the party at the ambassador's residence, others surrounded the Secretary of State. "Did you have a bar mitzvah of your own?" Kissinger was asked. "Yes, I studied hard for it," he replied. "Was it similar?" the guests pursued. "No, it was different," answered Kissinger. "For one thing, the German Foreign Minister didn't come to my bar mitzvah."
