Sadat Calls for peace Talks in Cairo: The Middle East continues to grab the headlines this week, understandably. President Sadat of Egypt has invited interested parties, including Israel, the U.S. and the U.S.S.R. to Cairo for a round of talks in preparation for a renewed Geneva conference. So far, only Israel has expressed a willingness to attend (probably to be represented by Foreign Minister Moshe Dayan). Jordan is sitting on the fence, undecided whether to go to Cairo or to attend a rival, rabidly anti-Egyptian Arab summit to be held in radicalized Libya. Odds are Amman will be represented at both meetings.
Talks on Majority Rule for Rhodesia: In Rhodesia, Prime Minister Ian Smith has called for talks with moderate black factions to plan for a majority rule government. His invitation apparently is being well received. This puts the U.S. and Britain on the spot: Are they sincere in their professed desire for one-man-one-vote majority rule — or will they persist in their ill-devised Anglo-American scheme which would practically hand over the country to externally-based Communist-supported guerrillas who have already said they want no part of free elections (since few would vote for them)?
