...military equipment of both Israel and its opponents is roughly equal in sophistication and destructive power, although the Arabs' equipment is newer since they have had to replace their massive losses of the Six-Day War. Israel compensates for its numerical inferiority by the superior discipline and training of its troops and expert maintenance of equipment. Israeli pilots in their U.S.-built F-4 Phantoms and Skyhawks and French Mirages have consistently outflown the Egyptian and Syrian air forces in their Russian-made SU-7 fighter-bombers and MIG-21 interceptors...
...from being stirred by Sadat's ringing oratory most Egyptians were unmoved. After all, in the three years since Sadat assumed the presidency following the sudden death of Gamal Abdel Nasser, he had constantly called for war to avenge the crushing defeat that Egypt suffered in the Six-Day War.

This is largesse on an unprecedented scale: most Israelis agree that no other mass immigration group has contributed so much to the nation. Some of the Russians have settled on territory Israel won in the Six-Day War, which has further angered Arabs. Perhaps the most important single asset of the Russian Jews is their youth: fully 50% are under...
Even before the Six-Day War of 1967 shut down the Suez Canal, Egyptians and oil men-to say nothing of their customers in the West-dreamed of a pipeline linking the Red and Mediterranean seas. Such a link (see map following page) would make unnecessary the costly circumnavigation of Africa by the giant tankers (too fat to fit the canal) that now deliver Arab oil to European refineries. It would also produce revenues that would go a long way toward filling the big hole left in the Egyptian treasury by the closing of the canal. For all its promise...
