THE SECRETARY OF STATE
WASHINGTON

July 16, 1974

Dear Ismail:

I want to thank you for your great
efforts in making the visit of President
Nixon a complete success. I believe we
have now come to build successfully on the
foundation which has been laid. I think
you and I can be proud of the roles which
we have played in bringing about the
atmosphere which has led our two countries
to this historic new relationship. I look
forward to continuing our work, both in
improving our bilateral relations and in
bringing about a just and lasting peace in
the Middle East and the world.

With warm regards,

His Excellency
Ismail Fahmy
Minister of Foreign Affairs
Cairo

October 15, 1974

Dear Ismail:

I want you to know how much I appreciated the
opportunity to consult again with you. I always
look forward to our meetings, not only because of
their significance but also because you are such a
special friend. I am grateful to you for having
made my visit possible and thank you for your
gracious hospitality, as well as for your thought-
ful gift of a bound Koran.

The past months have been busy ones for both
of us. We have worked hard together to keep the
negotiating process moving throughout the Middle
East and to move forward the relations between
our two countries. We have, I believe, achieved
substantial progress on both fronts.

I would appreciate it if you would pass along
a personal word of thanks to the members of the
ministry as well as to the staff at the Tahra
palace who made our stay so pleasant.

His Excellency
Ismail Fahmy,
Minister of Foreign Affairs,
Arab Republic of Egypt,
Cairo.

Dear Ismail:

It was good to see you again and to be
back in Egypt once more. The process of ne-
gotiations at this important juncture in
Middle Eastern affairs is facilitated so
much by my being able to work with you, to
obtain your counsel and sound advice. I
deeply appreciate our frank exchanges and
know that our cooperative efforts are en-
hanced through them.

I would like to express Nancy's and my
gratitude for your hospitality. We have
come to feel so much at home in Cairo. We
know that this is in large measure due to
the warmth and friendliness you, your charm-
ing wife, and your staff have continuously
shown to us.

His Excellency
Ismail Fahmy,
Minister of Foreign Affairs
of the Arab Republic of
Egypt,
Cairo.

March 25, 1975

Dear Ismail:

It was with profound sadness that I left the Middle East before achieving the disengagement agreement for which both of us had worked so hard. I want you to know how deeply I appreciate your strenuous efforts throughout this difficult period. I am most sincerely grateful for the statesmanship and constant understanding you have exercised in all our dealings together. Your wise counsel has been of great value to me.

Nancy joins me in thanking you and Afaf for your warm and indefatigable hospitality and kindness to us both. It is our abiding hope that our next meeting will be in happier circumstances.

His Excellency
Ismail Fahmy,
Foreign Minister of
Arab Republic of Egypt,
Cairo.

Dear Henry:

When we met in June 1972 at your traveling palace in Peking, you were kind enough to recall my article in *Encounter* of 1966, which we once discussed during a chance meeting on a plane. At our recent meeting on February 25 with a university group, you referred to this article again.

This emboldens me to send the final version of that article as it appeared in a book I edited, *The Chinese World Order, Traditional China's Foreign Relations* (Harvard, 1968). The articles in it show how the Chinese state maintained its tributary supremacy in the written record, even when the so-called tributary countries had a very different view of the matter. Thus, the kingdom of Liu-ch'iu (the Ryukyu Islands, today's Okinawa) always acknowledged Chinese suzerainty, although their trade and administration were actually controlled by Japan.

All this suggests that the present-day successor of the political myth of tributary supremacy may be a Chinese idea of sovereignty - for example, over Taiwan, even though the trade and administration of Taiwan may be somewhat separate (I also enclose a copy of my article on this in the *New Republic* of March 1, in which certain climactic phrases were inadvertently not printed.).

You are, of course, well aware how historians like to get a toe-hold on a footnote to history.

Dear John:

I enjoyed very much seeing you on Friday, October 15, in Cambridge and I want you to know that it was indeed a pleasure for me to participate in both the press conference and the Harvard East Asia Conference.

The Chinese banquet was splendid and I thought the question and answer session following the dinner was most productive.

I am confident that the Harvard East Asia Conference has contributed significantly to the dialogue among the corporate, academic, and government communities. Please convey my sincere appreciation to your staff whose efforts during the event were most impressive.

13th September 1973

Dear Henry,

Everyone, not the least being your undersigned "most obedient servant", knows how heavily laden you are these days and so, whether you received a cable from me last week or not, I am not surprised at a lack of an answer (up to this writing that is). However, as I didn't hear from you (regarding your visit to London and the Pilgrim's dinner), I've reluctantly had to amend my own plans somewhat. Alas and alack, it means I'll be missing your speech here by about a day as now I've had to accept Mountbatten's and Stanley Marcus' urging to stay on in Dallas two days longer. (The function I'm there for is primarily for the World Colleges Fund of which Mountbatten is the head. The rest is for the benefit of Norman-Marcus!!!).

In any case, I do hope you'll be staying London after the Pilgrim's, at least for a bit, and if you can break away from your duties for a meal (or a drink, or a theater) at my home do cable me ahead. As I've said, you're probably fixed up to stay at the Embassy, but if not by all means come to me (my home being the best hotel in town!).

I'm following your activities as best I can through the press and mutual friends and am fully aware of what a strain it all must be. However, I will hope to see you - here, there or somewhere - soon.

Dear Henry:

Assuming that you have quite enough to occupy your attention, I am writing this note to tell you that I am here in Washington and unless I am run out of town for one reason or another expect to be here for several weeks.

We started yesterday with previews of the Noel Coward play called "Present Laughter" which is one of his two or three best comedies, but it has not been done in twenty years largely because he wrote it for himself and only once or twice approved of anybody else playing the part (he did urge me to do it before he died so I am in the clear although had he lived he might have come to regret it!).

We open officially this coming Tuesday, the 29th. As usual, Roger Stevens will have a "do" afterwards. Would you and Nancy care to come?

Mary Lee is here with me for this week but goes back to Florida on the 30th. She will then come back and forth for a few days every few weeks.

If you cannot come the opening night I hope you will be able to make it sometime as I would love to see you both.

All the warmest and best of respects.

Your Majesty:

I wish to thank Your Majesty for your
magnificent hospitality during my most recent
visit to Saudi Arabia. I regret any incon-
venience caused you by the timing of my visit
during Ramadan. I am grateful to have had the
opportunity to consult once again with you on
ways in which our two countries can help move
forward a just and durable peace in the Middle
East.

As Your Majesty knows, I have the highest
regard for your wisdom and counsel in this
matter which is so critically important to both
our countries. I am confident that our talks
have further strengthened the bonds between our
two peoples and have advanced the prospects of
a negotiated settlement in this region.

Dear Henry,

Congratulations on your superb accomplishments in peace-making since you became Secretary of State. If peace in the Middle-East becomes a reality, you will truly deserve to be known as the diplomat of the Century. I am not attempting to flatter you. Your accomplishments have been phenomenal.

It has been over two years since we corresponded and you said to keep in touch. I had sent you a copy of a paper I wrote on the Cultural Revolution in China and indicated that I was interested in going to China. You responded that I was "well-qualified and deserving". This year I finally have a chance to go to China, though the time to be spent there is very short. I am a member of a group of fifty people sponsored by the American Institute for Foreign Study (national office in Greenwich, Connecticut) who are going to be studying Chinese History, Civilization and Modern Chinese History for several weeks at the University of Hong Kong during July 1974. A part of this study is supposed to include a five-day trip to Canton where we would each visit the types of schools, factories, communes, child-care centers, etc. that are most relevant to our work and studies in the United States.

However, since relations seem somewhat strained at present between the governments of the People's Republic of China and the United States, it seems that even the five days in Canton are in jeopardy of being cancelled. At least the Institute has not been able to gain final approval for visas for the group, even though 50 students visited Canton last year and there was no trouble. We are also aware that the Peking Government has cancelled several other American groups that already had final approval.

I know that it is outrageous to mention such a small matter to someone involved to his eye-brows in heavy negotiations of world-wide import. But if you could mention this to one of your aides to put in a good word for this group it would be greatly appreciated by all of us. Of course, if you can't, I will certainly understand.

This small trip to China would be the frosting on the cake for me as I finish up my Ph.D. work at Stanford. I am working on my dissertation now in the sub-field of Criminal Justice in the Department of Political Science. I hope to be working by Fall of 1974.

Things have changed so much since I left Washington with Larry in the Fall of 1970, both in the world at-large and personally. Congratulations to you and Nancy. Though I only had met her, Larry always said that she was an intelligent, beautiful person with real character. I admire you for making such a choice.

I have also remarried. My husband's name is Artis Falkner. For professional purposes I am going back to my maiden name--Jane Louise Foraker-Thompson--but for private life I will be known as Jane Thompson Falkner.

May you have some rest and peace between your travels.

July 11, 1974

Dear Jane:

It was good to hear from you after so long
a time. Thank you for bringing me up to date.
I'm glad things are going well for you--finishing
up your Ph. D., a new husband and your upcoming
visit to China.

I have asked our China Desk to look into
the request for visas by the American Institute
for Foreign Study.

My dear Dr. Kissinger:

In my forthcoming full-scale biography of the late J. Edgar Hoover, I propose to deal extensively with the celebrated wiretap cases, on the basis of what I believe are more penetrating research and investigation than any undertaken by reporters or even attorneys preoccupied with or involved in the matter.

After a study of leaks and their investigations under all administrations since that of Franklin D. Roosevelt, and having examined the procedures followed by the F.B.I. in several major leak investigations during the presidencies of Truman, Eisenhower, Kennedy and Johnson, I have come to the following conclusions:

(1) You were involved, directly or indirectly, not in seventeen but only in four of the investigations of suspected sources of the Beecher leak.

(2) The investigation of these sources was legitimate--in fact, it was mandatory from the viewpoint of genuine national security. You would have been derelict in your duty if you had not used whatever facilities and means were officially available to establish the sources of unauthorized dissemination of classified information.

(3) The methods used by the F.B.I. in the investigation of the four suspected sources, at the discretion of Mr. Hoover, were proper under de facto wartime conditions; in the face of the urgency of the matter and the provocative nature of the leaks; in view of the apparent involvement of foreign secret service(s) and the obviously loose security of at least one of the suspected sources of seemingly continuous violations of confidences.

(4) The prolongation of the tap on Morton H. Halperin's home telephone was fully justified by the proven loquacity and gross indiscretion of his wife, and by Mr. Halperin's own apparent arbitrary utilization of classified information in his private pursuits for which he was being paid.

Dear Mr. Farago:

Dr. Kissinger, prior to his departure for Cali-
fornia, asked me to thank you for your letter of
July 9, in which you took the trouble to offer com-
ments on the case of <u>Halperin v. Kissinger</u>.

While Dr. Kissinger would at the appropriate
time be happy to have the opportunity to discuss this
matter with you, he could not do so at this time in
any detail consistent with the protective order which
the Court has issued and made applicable to all par-
ties to the litigation. He has, therefore, asked me
to express to you his regret that he is not able to
accept your offer to meet and discuss the case at this
time.

Once the litigation is completed, I assume that
these restraints will be removed and Dr. Kissinger
would be in a position to discuss the case with you.
Unfortunately, this is not likely to occur prior to
the publication of your book next spring.

your very kind words. Your support, Sir,

My dear Mr. Secretary:

I want you to know that it was a real delight for me to see you and hear you at the Alfred E. Smith Memorial Dinner the other night. I am sorry I did not have more of an opportunity to chat with you and Mrs. Kissinger, but, of course, on an occasion of that kind it is rather difficult for extended conversations to be held.

I want to compliment you most heartily on your address...Your witty remarks at the start certainly won the appreciation of the audience. I am sure that Cardinal Cooke and everyone in attendance will always remember your splendid message which was so well received as evidenced by the applause at the conclusion of your observations. All of them were very, very good indeed.

May I say to you, Sir, that I do not know of any Secretary of State we have ever had who has worked harder and more patiently than you have in your performance of your duties as Secretary of State, and I am sure your record of accomplishments will be pointed to most frequently and most satisfactorily in the days ahead.

I realize your job is not completed and you still have difficult problems to solve in the Middle East, but based on your successes in the past, I am sure you will continue to be successful in your efforts because I am sure all the countries involved must realize the importance of the problems being solved as satisfactorily as they can be so all the countries involved, by virtue of your efforts, may be able to live in peace in the days ahead.

I was delighted to have the opportunity of meeting Mrs. Kissinger, if only briefly, at the dinner as I was on my way out, and I know

Dear Mr. Secretary:

I had no idea that I would have the pleasure of meeting you personally, if only for a minute, at the Gridiron Dinner. But it gave me an opportunity to ask you for a favor.

The morning before I left New York I met a friend of mine at the Waldorf Astoria, where I live, and she asked me if it were possible to get your autograph for her niece. It was kind of you to stop and say hello and give me the opportunity to make the request and you indicated that you would be delighted to comply with my request for the young lady. Therefore, I am confirming that brief conversation and enclosing a card. Would you please sign your name and return it to me. I would be so grateful and I know how pleased the young lady will be to have it for her collection.

I hope one of these days when you are in New York I will have the opportunity to see you and visit with you again. I was particularly pleased to see that you were looking so well and hope that you will continue in good health and continue your good work for our country.

Thank you most sincerely for your favor. With warm personal regards, I remain

Dear Henry:

It may seem a bit presumptious of me to be writing you in this vein, but I did want to share some medical information that might be of help to you.

I have been told that you have a diaphragmatic hernia, but whether you have any annoying symptoms, I do not know. I am taking the liberty of writing you now because my wife, Peggy, has had severe chest pain intermittently since an episode of blood clots in the right lung (emboli) resulting from phlebitis in July 1971. We were able to get no real relief other than temporary easing of pain by the use of nitroglycerin under the tongue together with sleeping in a reclining position.

About two weeks ago one of my colleagues at the Mayo Clinic told me about the development of a new form of nitroglycerin which is prepared in such a way as to act gradually over an eight to twelve hour period. I secured this and tried it with Peggy, and she has had no pain of any significance for ten days and no side effects from the medication. To us it was such a welcome relief that I thought I would tell you about it in case you had severe pain and the unlikely possibility that your own physician did not know about it.

The preparation we have is made by the USV Pharmaceutical Corporation, Tuckahoe, New York, 10707. It is referred to as "nitroglycerin in sustained release microdialysis cells."

No reply is needed or expected if you already have your symptoms under control.

I wish you the best of luck in all the multitude of tasks you are saddled with. Your friends are legion and some of your critics are very often, as Senator Goldwater would say, "a rotten bunch."

With warmest personal regards,

Tel-Aviv, August 28, 1975

Dr. Henry Kissinger,
King David Hotel,
JERUSALEM.

Dear Dr. Kissinger,

I take the liberty of attaching copy of my letter to you which
was written five months ago.

In the third paragraph of my letter I write:- "The great respect
which Israel, and I am sure our Arab neighbours too, have towards
you, and so rightly expressed, must compel you to start again.
You will succeed in the end with your endeavours and your
consideration in the friendship and respect you have towards the
people of our area."

In the next paragraph I write:- "Winners never quit, quitters
never win."

It proved to be right and I wish to congratulate you and your
colleagues for the historic act of bringing the people of Israel
nearer to the people of Egypt, our neighbours. I do hope that
this will be the begin of the beginning of a mutual relationship
between us and our Arab neighbours. Our world is in a critical
situation. We all reached a point of no return and have to look
forward and do everything in our power to guarantee freedom,
understanding among the people of the world and understanding
between the Governments of the Western hemisphere.

I allow myself to send you a few bottles of good champagne. You
should drink "lechaim" to all those who helped to conclude this
mission successfully.

I would be glad if you would also take three bottles with you to
Egypt and open them together with President Sadat and his colleagues
and extend my respectful greetings as an Israeli citizen, who is
very happy with what has been achieved with mutual understanding
and equal respect.

Dr. Henry Kissinger
Secretary of State
The White House
Washington

Dear Dr. Kissinger,

I take the liberty of writing to you.

The people of Israel can only be judged and understood in the context of their past. There are not many people, as you personally know so well, who are so conscious deep in their mind and in their heart of their historic past. Concern and sometimes fear have been with us for many many generations. The fact that the Jews survived as a people and even built up again a modern nation here in Israel, is one of the great historical miracles of our time.

The world today is feeling at its periphery that it is in a great struggle between "to be or not to be". In Israel we cannot help but see a shocking reflection on our own existence here, surrounded by people of different ethnic values and lacking the deep respect towards the world as a whole, which Israel carries within itself.

You had a great disappointment, not only as Secretary of State of the U.S.A., but as a human being, who has seen his endeavours and well-minded guidance in vain for the moment. The great respect which Israel, and I am sure our Arab neighbours too, have towards you, and so rightly expressed, must compel you to start again.

You know, as we all do, that we cannot fall back into the darkness of fear of a renewed war, which will not only threaten the people of this area, but could become a danger for the whole free world, in which we all believe.

As a citizen of this country and as a responsible citizen of the world, I write to you and I beg of you to take this letter as such. There is an old English saying "Winners never quit - quitters never win". You must win because we, the people of the world, cannot allow you to quit.

My dear Mr. Secretary:

On my own behalf and for the American Bar Association, I wish to thank you for your arranging to come to Montreal and to address our Opening Assembly in the Place des Arts on Monday, August 11, 1975. It pleased me very much that you really had something of interest and value to say and we shall long remember your significant participation on this occasion.

Those of us who had the privilege of visiting with you personally during the discussion session in the Queen Elizabeth Hotel were strongly impressed with your full and frank exposition of the substance of the many challenging aspects of foreign policy which confront our country and the world. We are grateful for your taking the time to have this enlightening exchange with us and for the attention which Carlyle Maw and Monroe Leigh gave to make it possible in such a tightly burdened schedule.

Mayor Jean Drapeau called me following his session with you and greatly appreciated your generosity in breaking bread with the Canadians and in taking the time to inspect the Olympic site and to greet the workers personally. You made an effective impression.

If and when it is convenient, it would please me very much to receive an autographed photograph of you, preferably a 7 x 9 size, which could be surrounded by a white border for an 8-1/2 x 11 mounting. I would be deeply grateful for this remembrance.

This brings warm regards and best wishes.

Dear Dr. Kissinger:

I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself. At present I am a student of translation and interpretation of foreign languages at Georgetown University and have been residing in this area since November, 1975. Previously, I have been living in Buenos Aires, Argentina as a citizen of that country.

While I am here I think it would be very worthwhile in mentioning a subject which you may find somewhat pleasant and interesting. My parents and grandparents are from Furth, Germany and have said that they know your family quite well and have attended the same synagogue with your parents. My father, Stephan Felsenstein, said he had attended the same Hebrew day school as you did and remembers you.

I fully realize that you are extremely busy and have a heavy workload. If for any reason you could extend five minutes or less of your valuable time for a brief hello, I would be most grateful.

THERE was no siren song sweeter
than the prose of the Cunard bro-
chure with its breathless promises of
"a week of life as it should be lived!"

The 1920's. The Transatlantic
Week. The Cunard liners. Eastbound
across the Atlantic. New York to
Southampton. 5 days.

Bon Voyage baskets, streamers,
the sound of the dressing gong, the
stewards' starched jackets, and
everywhere the scent of gardenias
and oranges and the sea.

It was a time when one never
knew who would be on board. When
everyone was a celebrity, even the
dogs. A dinner jacket was the most
important piece of clothing in a
gentleman's wardrobe. And every
sweet young thing stocked in a
supply of floaty dresses.

Midnight on the Mauretania —
3 days out. The lilt of the "Dardenella"
easing up from the lounge. People
slouched in deck chairs hating to
say goodnight.

voyage, a scotch to be savoured.

Egyptian editor, off-the-record:
"We had to go to war"

This war was bound to come sooner or later. Egypt could not permit Sinai to become another Palestine—another issue shelved year after year at the U.N.

I thought Anwar Sadat would start the war in 1971. The world ridiculed him but I think he was sincere when he said that the Indo-Pakistani war stopped him from launching an attack. In 1972, it was the American elections that prevented him: He hoped that whoever was elected President would help Egypt. When it became clear that the Americans were not about to do anything about Sinai, Sadat had no choice but to strike.

The peace initiative Henry Kissinger was preparing for this winter did not seem like the real thing. Sadat felt that the Americans were insincere, they were stalling; they were basing their ideas on Israel's military superiority. They were laughing at us behind our back.

So we struck. We didn't do too badly. If it had not been for the American airlift of arms to Israel, we would have won. But our objectives were limited. We knew we could not take the war to Tel Aviv. What we hoped for was a diplomatic victory, a psychological victory. We wanted to arouse the world to force Israel's withdrawal from Sinai. And we wanted to restore our dignity.

Had he not started the war, Sadat would have been thrown out. Our people could not live for another year with the Israelis triumphant in Sinai, sitting on the Canal, putting up settlements on our land. Anything would have been better than that humiliation.

Now we have a new situation. We proved we can fight, we can think logically, we know how to use our oil as a weapon. The world takes us seriously.

Israeli journalist,
getting it off his chest:
Fear of both war and peace

This was real war. In 1967, we had a victory parade; everything—well, nearly everything—went off perfectly, according to plan. Our plan.

This time, we had too many surprises—all of them at our expense: the attack itself, coordination between Egypt and Syria, some of the weapons the Arabs used, their improved military performance, our difficulties in mobilizing and then regaining the initiative.

We just weren't as strong militarily as we thought we were. Our assessments of our enemies' intentions were inaccurate—to say the least.

Our overconfidence almost cost us the state—very nearly. I don't believe that the Arab armies would have stopped and sued for a ceasefire after reaching the pre-June war borders. And believe me, there would have been no desperate, last-minute call from the Kremlin or from the U.N. to prevent the Arabs from winning the war, from attacking our heartland.

I am now deeply worried about the casualties, the economy and our ability to cope with it all: American pressure, Soviet threats, our international isolation, Arab oil blackmail in Europe and everywhere else. What if the war goes on, intermittently, as it did in 1947-48? What if there is a Phase Two to Arab-Soviet plans? Time will not be on our side. Nor will the world—for all that it matters.

Maybe the United States will stay friends with us. Maybe.

But how much more can we take in human losses? And how secure can we be if the Arabs are allowed to come closer to our cities?

I am worried about both another war and the peace, so-called, which we may have to accept.

THE NATIONAL JEWISH MONTHLY

THE FOURTH ROUND Continued

unheated homes—is it not likely, therefore, that America in the name of peace and detente will pressure Israel to accept a settlement that will merely leave her more vulnerable to a renewed Arab attack?

The answer can be made with some confidence. Israel will not accept such a settlement. And America will not urge such a settlement. To put it bluntly, American leaders—even those who wish that America had never helped to create the State of Israel—know implicitly that if Israel is sold out and permitted to be destroyed, America's standing in the world would be irreparably damaged. America would cease to be Number One. And for her free world allies, it could be the beginning of the end. It would therefore be a fatal mistake for the Soviets or Arabs to count on so monstrous a failure of American resolve and responsibility.

## A peace Israel can live with

There will undoubtedly be substantial differences between Washington and Jerusalem on the shape of a just and durable peace. The requirements of Israel's security must look different viewed from capitals 6,000 miles apart. And Americans who have not known invasion in almost 200 years have different sensitivities from Israelis who, as it has been said, "every day fight the Arabs and win, and every night fight the Nazis and lose." But the differences will be differences between friends, not unfeeling strangers.

Many Israelis understand that the occupied territories can be vitally important in helping her cope with an Arab aggression, but they cannot prevent that aggression. Indeed, because the territories are a "bone in the throat" of many Arabs, they increase the likelihood of aggression. Israel will be debating the life-and-death question of how much territory—and defensive capacity—she can give up in exchange for the uncertain promises of peace. But it becomes increasingly clear there will be no peace without return of substantial territories.

The Soviets have just seen more billions of dollars of their arms squandered in a vain effort to crush Israel. Realists, they must be aware that

another Arab effort in the near future will have no different result. They know the Arabs are "using" them, as they are using the Arabs. They remember how unceremoniously they were "invited out" of Egypt. Arab and particularly Moslem suspicion of Russian designs is deep-seated. Arabs will not really be grateful unless the Soviets help them drive Israel into the sea—and then would not the Arabs be free to make the best deals they could anywhere in the world—without special obligation to the Soviets?

Russia has gone as far as it can through military assistance to the Arab world. To go further is to endanger detente and to risk a nuclear confrontation without any certainty of winning.

Russia now has a reasonably solid base in Egypt, Syria and oil-rich Iraq, which can be strengthened by economic aid. There are therefore compelling reasons for the Soviets to support a settlement of the conflict that the Arabs can be persuaded to accept as fair. And it would not be surprising if Russia reestablished diplomatic relations with Israel—if only to be included in the negotiations that Kissinger has started.

The Arabs have learned that they could not win even with the advantage of a surprise attack. Nor could they separate the United States from Israel by imposing an oil boycott. But they can get American support for reopening the Suez Canal and the return of most of the occupied territories by taking the diplomatic route. They must be ready to make the concessions that Israel will insist are necessary. After all, it was an Arab diplomat who once told the State Department that settlement will come "when the Arabs pay a price for their defeat and Israel pays the price of peace."

For her own reasons, America will strive for a peace Israel can live with. For their reasons—the advantages of detente and the danger of nuclear confrontation—the Soviets will strive for a peace the Arabs can live with. And if the Arab vendetta against Israel has subsided in the wake of the fourth round—unfortunately, still a very big if—there is some reason to hope that we have come to the beginning of the end of the Twenty-Five Years' War. ☐

## BESHERT!

Call it "An Accident", "Coincidence", "Fate", "Destiny" or "Kismet" (if you'll pardon the expression)...

When we commissioned one of our artist-sculptors to design an ecumenical emblem of love, friendship, unity, one world, peace ... using the globe of the world, olive branches, and six doves symbolizing the six continents ... he creatively came up with the beautiful pendant medallion shown below. Lo and behold, as a result of his endeavors into symbolism there evolved, strangely enough, "The Star of David"! Unconsciously, unintentionally the hand of fate may again have moved. Mystics among us may express no surprise that "The Love Expression" Medallion revealed itself in the six pointed "Star of David"!
