Peruvian expansionism is already radiating across Latin America. Acurio's fine-dining flagship, Astrid y Gastón, operates in seven countries outside Peru. La Mar has restaurant in six countries, and Tanta, which offers light fare, just opened its first locale outside of Peru in Santa Cruz, Bolivia. A number of other multi-star restaurants have also branched out to neighboring countries. Twelve Peruvian restaurants have franchised their formulas and are operating abroad, again mostly in the rest of Latin America. Another 20 are in the process of expanding beyond Peru's borders, and Kiser ticks off a long...
...latest round of Middle East peace talks got under way. Egypt's Anwar Sadat journeyed to the dusty Nile delta town of Tanta to address his first mass rally since becoming President three months ago. The 12,000 Tantans responded as if the late Gamal Abdel Nasser himself were speaking. "There will be no compromise," said Sadat, "and we will not give up one inch of our land. The battle will extend to our farms, our factories, in the towns, cities and on the streets." Then he demanded: "Are you really fed up? Are you really tired of fighting...
...belligerent harangue, like Sadat's calmer interviews with U.S. Newsmen James Reston and Walter Cronkite, was designed to show the world-and the Jarring negotiators-that Egypt is not war weary enough to beg for peace and negotiate away territory.

...intention of letting its planes be wiped out instantly on the ground as they were at the outset of the 1967 war. A TIME correspondent, driving from Cairo to Alexandria along the delta highway, spotted a host of mottled-green MIGs using a huge half-completed military airfield near Tanta. At four other places along the four-lane highway, the center strip had been asphalted over, creating a usable impromptu airstrip, and camouflaged hangars scattered along the road seemed to be obvious shelters for dispersing the Egyptian jets...
Georgio was a neo-surrealist. He and Andy had barhopped in Paris and New York with Hemingway, Dylan Thomas and other experimental creative minds still living. "Tanta" Honey-Lou bought the wild paintings of Georgio and miscellaneous cohorts--she was their patron goddess. Her top-floor studio which led onto the terrace and pool, was hung with eleven portraits done by thankful young admiring artists she had helped. Not flattering ones only. In one she was a pale-green mermaid, with an ochre heart, but still with her own silky orange hair. At 45, her bikinied figure was a source...
