Editorial analyzes the Ismailia meeting between President Sadat and Prime Minister Begin. It notes momentum for peace remains despite a stalemate on core issues and highlights Sadat resisting narrow peace talks while Begin proposes Arab self rule, signaling a shift toward negotiation.
The piece notes Shimon Peres criticizes momentum as too generous for opening rounds of Cairo-Israel negotiations while Begin aims to match Sadat's bold gestures. It highlights US role as honest broker, Jordan possibly joining talks, and Geneva talks delayed but topics aired. It adds reflections on Chaplin and Vermont items, and a note on the Vermont bobcat season reversal.
