...Sadat-and the rest of the world-it was to be a week of high-stakes diplomacy. Despite the gemütlich surroundings, the Salzburg talks were considerably more than mere window dressing designed to give the impression of activity. Peace negotiations have been at an impasse for two months, ever since the collapse of Secretary of State Henry Kissinger's shuttle between Israel and the Arab states. Said a White House security adviser: "The most dangerous thing is to do nothing. We can't afford that." Warned Egypt's Foreign Minister Ismail Fahmy: "The Middle East...
...real trouble is rooted in the initial conception of a show. Molly obviously hoped to capitalize on the large Jewish theatergoing audience in the New York area by offering that audience homey ethnic humor. While ethnic humor is indestructible, it goes through varying phases. The cozy gemütlich atmosphere that originally made Molly Goldberg a household charmer is simply not in the air we breathe now.

Part of Jahn's rise to eminence as Europe's biggest chain restaurateur is the result of using American methods of mass purchasing and strict cost controls. Another ingredient is a deft instinct for customers' inner needs. His restaurants are gemütlich, the food is solid, and the prices are 10% to 20% lower than almost anywhere else-precisely what he would want for himself, despite his success. A chief deputy, Rolf Schielein, says of Jahn: "Basically, he has retained his waiter's mind...
