...just a year after the former U.S. President's visit to Egypt. The second was a gamble that a new Arab-Israeli war could be averted: a ceremony marking the reopening of the Suez Canal on the anniversary of its closure in 1967 at the outset of the Six-Day...
Sadat shows visitors to Egypt not only the new housing cities but the rubble that remains in older towns from the Six-Day War of 1967, the war of attrition from 1968 to 1970 and the October war of 1973.

The rusting carriers had been trapped there since the canal was blocked in 1967. Discerning a parallel between the preparations for the canal reopening and the broader peace negotiations that have made it possible, Egyptian Cartoonist Salah Jaheen in al Ahram last week drew President...
