...positively ebullient about peace prospects. Meanwhile, the news reaching Washington about the Assad-Brezhnev talks was upbeat: the Soviets seemed eager to resume a leadership role at comprehensive peace talks in Geneva-a role that Henry Kissinger had largely ruled out for them in 1973 when he launched his step-by-step negotiations. While taking care to mute their criticisms of U.S. policy, the Soviets quickly settled their dispute with Assad over Syria's intervention in Lebanon, which had badly bruised Soviet-Syrian relations and seemed to seriously threaten the peace talks...
Though widely regarded as a hawk, Peres in his recent pronouncements takes an increasingly moderate, statesmanlike approach toward Israel's relations with both enemies and allies. He favors a step-by-step approach to peace in the Middle East. If elected Premier, he is expected to go along with President Carter's proposal to reconvene the Geneva talks this year.

Vance's first stop is Israel, where it is expected that he will receive an enthusiastic welcome as an old, trusted supporter, although he has never visited the country. His argument in Jerusalem: a resumption of the Geneva Conference is imperative because the step-by-step approach-symbolized by the dramatic diplomatic shuttles of former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger-has achieved all that it can. (Kissinger expressed similar sentiments several months ago as he wound down his diplomatic duties.) This is sure to bring contradictory responses from Israeli leaders, in part because they have...
