...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.

From the first, the Stones refused to play the performing game: they were scruffy, wore outrageous clothes, flashed no toothy smiles. Brazenly, they thumbed their noses at the adult world-and still rode the crest of a fantastic success. Ever since, the Stones' career has seemed a demonstration of how to be bad and make good...
