Lunch was more social than businesslike. The three leaders and their wives dined modestly in the family quarters. Outside, the crowd was gathering and the sounds filtered up through the tall windows. As so often happens in such relaxed circumstances, the three men began to talk history. The last time a treaty between the people of Israel and of Egypt had been signed, Begin related, was 3,000 years ago. King Solomon had made an agreement with a Pharaoh.

Since the assertion was right out of the Political Writer's Handy Kit of Solemn Banalities, it could be conscientiously forgotten.

It was from Hana's shores in 1778 that King Kamehameha the Great glimpsed the first of the tall ships that were to impose Western so-called civilization on Hawaii; the ship's English captain, James Cook, mapped the island, which he spelled Mowee.* Though Hana can be reached in minutes by air, driving there is half the fun. The shoestring road, with 617 switchback bends and 56 one-way bridges, bumples through a jungle of bamboo, fern, maune loa vines, breadfruit...
