Carter stands at center, resting his hand on a cannon, with Sadat on his right and Begin on his left. Carter and Sadat are in casual clothes while Begin sports a three-piece suit. Aides, interpreters and bodyguards hover close by. THE MIDDLE EAST MEETS GETTYSBURG: "I MADE THEM BOTH AGREE NOT TO TALK ABOUT ANYTHING THAT HAPPENED SINCE 1865." Midway through the final week of the Camp David peace talks, everyone needed a break. "We went to the Civil War battlefield at Gettysburg one day," Carter remembered in a 1998 symposium at the University of Maryland, "and I made them both agree not to talk about the Middle East or about anything that happened since 1865. I sat between the two men in the limousine. We got to Gettysburg, and Sadat, all of his generals, and all of the Israeli generals knew the battle details - I was really amazed. However, Menachem Begin did not know anything about the battle. We had Shelby Foote with us, an expert on the Civil War. And so Begin was a little embarrassing to me, not having learned about Gettysburg. But when we arrived at the point where Abraham Lincoln had made his address, Menachem Begin recited it word-for-word. A nice event - that I will never forget." A vivid image of this interesting moment in the Camp David story.
