...about the size of France and Spain put together. A satellite photo, which can distinguish between desert and arable land, tells a different story. Viewed from space, the real Egypt?the land that man can live on?is small and lotus-shaped. A thin, two-to ten-mile-wide strip of green, the flower's stem, follows the Nile north from the Sudan border; then, near Cairo, comes the blossom, the Nile Delta. In that narrow space of 13,800 sq. mi., no larger than Taiwan, live 37.8 million people, or 97% of the country's population. Almost...
...peninsula, and Israel would withdraw its forces to the pre-1967 lines and remove its 16 Sinai settlements. Israel regards the area primarily as a strategic buffer zone. To ensure Israel's security, Egypt's armed forces would not move beyond the twelve or so mile-wide strip it now occupies east of the Suez Canal. The rest of Sinai would be demilitarized and policed by a U.N. peace-keeping force.

Since the area has no traditional links to Sinai or Egypt, Gaza should be joined politically to the new Palestinian entity on the West Bank and subjected to similar limitations on its sovereignty. Although no geographic link between Gaza and the West Bank is feasible, Israel must guarantee unobstructed passage of goods and people between the two areas-perhaps via something comparable to the access routes from West Germany to West Berlin...
...City, and its new suburban settlements. The Old City, with its many holy shrines, would be turned into a self-administered, internationalized community-in effect, a Vatican of the Middle East. Mount Scopus, the site of Hebrew University, would remain Israeli, connected to the Jewish state by a strip of land. The rest of East Jerusalem would be linked to the entity and could even serve as its administrative capital, just as West Jerusalem serves as Israel's capital. In any formula, unhindered access to the holy shrines-which would be administered by the religions to which they...
Lest the reader get the wrong impression, Mandelbaum was not the only Harvard fencer on the strip last night. Of the others, sophomore epeeman Robert Kaplan came through in the clutch defeating Criss Morkawa 5-0 to garner the match-clinching fourteenth bout for the Crimson...
