Sadat too is under great pressure.

This has disappointed Cairo and Washington, which had counted on backing for Sadat from such moderate countries as Jordan, Tunisia and especially Saudi Arabia...

This week an hour-long TV special, Emmet Otter's Jug Band Christmas, is on view in the U.S. And, of course, the Muppets Bert and Ernie, Oscar the Grouch, who lives in a garbage can, and the renowned Big Bird, who is 8 ft. tall and has not just an arm but an entire person inside him, have presided over Sesame Street since that wonderfully imaginative...
