Egyptian boatman seeks peace and a second wife in Mideast calm
Sayed Abbas, a 62 year old Nubian boatman near Aswan, hopes U.S. President Carter can broker Mideast peace with Egypt and Israel. He wants a stable climate for foreign investment and tourism and even a second wife, a Moslem right up to four wives, as he dreams of a better home amid changing times. Abbas backs Sadat Begin talks and imagines improved living with peace, though memories linger of 1967 war and Soviet aid to defend Aswan Dam.
