Sadat, wearing his military uniform, greeted me with a booming "Welcome" and drew me into the study of his villa, an unprepossessing stone government rest house. He went straight to the heart of the problem. The laborious diplomacy since the October War had to be brought to some conclusion. Sadat therefore asked that I stay in the Middle East until the negotiations had either succeeded or failed. A disengagement agreement, in his view, was essential to turn a new page in Arab-American relations and give momentum to the peace process with Israel. To demonstrate his sincerity, Sadat gave himself...
McChrystal and a number of weapons experts, both in and out of uniform, feel that the U.S. ought to take a tip from the Soviets, who allow only a tightly limited number of design changes as they push ahead with a project.

...offers technicians with eyes on loftier assignments a chance to parade their craft by aiming low, like a sniper at a grounded blimp. Director Sherman is a young-old hand at this (remember Raw Meat?); he keeps the camera steady, the action terse and his cast overacting at a uniform pitch that amounts to a house style. The movie does not stint on intelligently choreographed thrills. Like a sleek, knowledgeable hooker, Vice Squad delivers...
