[0:02] The funeral day of Anoir Sadat. A day
[0:04] when his family and statesmen from half
[0:06] the nations of the world stood at his
[0:08] grave side. But a day when the fear of
[0:10] violence was so great the people of
[0:12] Egypt were held far at bay
[0:24] from around the world and from our
[0:26] newsroom in Washington. This is the CBS
[0:28] Evening News with Bob Schaefer.
[0:32] >> Good evening. They buried Anor Sadat
[0:34] today. The body will rest beneath the
[0:35] 20th century pyramid. The Blackstone

[1:30] day Sadat was assassinated.
[1:34] Attendance at the funeral was restricted
[1:36] to the public, but open to the world.
[1:38] However, most of the Arab world, angry
[1:41] over Sedat's overture to Israel, did not
[1:43] send representatives.
[1:46] The dignitaries sat and the family sat
[1:49] in the very reviewing stand where the
[1:51] president sat when he was killed 4 days
[1:53] ago. Just across the way, a short walk
[1:57] is the tomb of the unknown soldier. Just
[2:00] beyond that, a new tomb and a new
