During my first meeting with President Sadat in Jerusalem, a very warm personal relationship was established between us. When we had our personal talk at the King David Hotel, he volunteered the statement: "You are my friend." Later on there came a metamorphosis and there was some bitter name-calling in Egypt. As far as I am concerned, I didn't reply in kind because I don't think name-calling solves any problems.

...paid for several trips to Puerto Rico for other friends. None of this was true, police said later, but people in the neighborhood began estimating how much money she might have stashed away in her modest row house. Someone guessed $35,000.

When he was about to take his exams for West Point, she gave him a pep talk that he never forgot: "You must believe in yourself, my son, or no one else will believe in you." Naturally, he passed and, just as naturally, his mother moved to Craney's Hotel near his dormitory, where for four years she could see the lamp in her son's window and tell whether...

Many come forth sounding as though they have been Zenned and Esalened and Rolfed and Primal Screamed into a state of exaltation hitherto achieved only by beings who talk to birds or turn miscreant wives into salt...
