At the end of the interview, Gaddafi went into an adjoining room where a wide-screen color television was still carrying the live broadcast from the White House. Sadat was speaking. The colonel's entourage stepped back respectfully, leaving Gaddafi to stand alone in the middle of the room. He watched and listened for a few moments, then turned and walked out. On his face was the same wan smile as there had been earlier when he was given the note. It was a smile that connoted grim satisfaction, the "I-told-you-so" smile of someone who has just witnessed an ugly scene that he had long since predicted and who is turning his thoughts to a retribution still to come.
