Carter has found the world tougher than he thought - but the men and women who run it better than he thought. He likes what he has going with Israel's Begin and Egypt's Sadat.

Without a second thought, 50 people in the group, including myself, began to jump. I like to think we weren't doing it just to keep warm...
...hall where everyone else is high along with you. Instead, you see the Dead in a movie theater, and somehow the feeling just doesn't communicate that well.

(For more information on this subject see Mind in the Waters, ed. by Joan McIntyre.) The size and complexity of the Cetacean's brain, though not yet undeniably linked to an ability to reason and feel, raises tantalizing questions. Can whales live? Do they have an oral history...
