After the humiliation of the Six-Day War of 1967, Nasser mixed bluster and bullets in his efforts to regain Sinai and the Gaza Strip from Israel. He succeeded only in accumulating 20,000 casualties in his fruitless "war of attrition," and was more than glad to negotiate a ceasefire. Sadat, with a calm and moderate approach and the subtlety of a bazaar merchant, has managed in four months to put Israel on the diplomatic defensive. First, in a major shift in Arab policy, he announced his willingness to recognize Israel's right to exist in return for the restoration...
...period. In fact, in the film's climactic scene, Hermie places a big band treatment of the film's theme song onto the phonograph, and, in the wonderful moment that follows, the two realities-that of purported, remembered history and blatant movie artificiality-merge.

This week American Heritage Press will publish an anthology...
...strip's hero is Mike Doonesbury, a flaky Yalie who is unable to score even with the female roommate the college assigns him. His plights provide one of the first humorous counters to the counterculture, hinting that despite the seeming arrogance of today's undergraduates, campus life is still just a bowl of old-fashioned adolescent insecurities. Doonesbury's creator is Garry Trudeau, 22, a Manhattan blueblood (his mother is Fashion Leader Mrs. Harcourt Amory Jr.) who graduated from Yale last year. No Doonesbury himself, Trudeau is now confidently dashing off his cartoons in Colorado and plans...
