...From Sadat's viewpoint, the big problem was Israel's insistence upon particular agreements concerning nonbelligerency, which, curiously, reminded one Western-schooled Egyptian diplomat of a cheeseburger. "Supposing," he told TIME Correspondent Wilton Wynn in a kind of Big Mac analysis, "that you ask me for a cheeseburger and I flatly refuse to give it to you. You then say, 'O.K., don't give me the cheeseburger. But at least give me the bun. And perhaps the mustard and the cheese and the onion-and don't forget the meat.' That is how Israel...
...mounting; left-wing Cairo university students demonstrated again last week for better conditions, and some workers joined them. Sadat has ordered extra supplies of wheat, meat and cotton cloth to be distributed, but even that is not enough. "The real problem," one leftist intellectual Cairene told TIME Correspondent Wilton Wynn last week, "is the deterioration of the economy. These troubles are not plots masterminded by some Marxist. The real generalissimo is hunger." That is one generalissimo who could be defeated by a Middle East peace-but who would surely win if the area returned...
Once the choice was made, preparations for the story began under conditions of secrecy. From Beirut, Bureau Chief Karsten Prager distilled 18 months of reporting on oil while Cairo Bureau Chief Wilton Wynn flew to Jeddah to sip Bedouin coffee in a rare audience with King Faisal.

It was not the first meeting between the two: Wynn once interviewed the future King in Cairo in 1947 when Faisal, then his father's Foreign Minister, was en route to New York for the United Nations session that eventually partitioned Palestine. No matter the longevity of the relationship, Wynn noted wryly in a cable from Jeddah, there was no special favor this...
...influx of people gives the impression of great hustle and bustle among the ruins," reports TIME Cairo Bureau Chief Wilton Wynn, who recently visited Suez city. "Three knocked-out Israeli tanks are gathering rust at the entrance to the city, with little children playing soldiers on them. In a building still blackened from being burned out, a baker pulls trays of flat bread out of the makeshift oven, while a shop opened beneath twisted iron shutters offers transistors and domestic appliances. Above the din of the crowd, there is the hum of bulldozers and the clatter of sledgehammers as workers...
