Riding at anchor six miles off Egypt's war-battered Port Said was a strange sight-the 18,300-ton U.S. helicopter carrier Iwo Jima. For nearly two decades, the warships of America's Sixth Fleet have been regarded by Egypt as unfriendly and unwanted. But now the U.S. Navy is playing a major role in helping the Egyptians clear the Suez Canal of the explosives and wreckage that have blocked it since the Six-Day War of 1967.

The tour will feature stopovers at observatories in California and Arizona. There, the participants will be treated to candlelight dinners and lectures while Kohoutek glimmers in the sky. Cost: $1,750 apiece...

Two decades later, at the time of the Six-Day War, the Arab oil producers did, in fact, briefly cut off oil to the West.
