...invitation to the P.L.O. was another matter. It was interpreted by many not only as a victory for Arab hard-liners (and for Syria in particular) but as a serious diplomatic defeat for Israel, the U.S. and even Egypt, which had bilaterally negotiated a Sinai accord earlier this year without gaining any concessions for the Palestinians...
...that Assad is merely asserting Syria's role as the traditional defender of pan-Arab nationalism. As spokesman for this cause, Assad attacked Egyptian President Anwar Sadat for making the separate Sinai agreements with Israel that have, for the moment, shattered the Arab confrontation front. Since the second accord, Cairo and Damascus have been engaged in a bitter rhetorical feud.

Still, Sakharov was characteristically far more concerned with dissenters in prison than with his own plight. At the same tune, some brave Russians put themselves in jeopardy by supporting Sakharov with a petition denouncing the authorities for refusing to let him attend the Oslo award ceremony. It was signed by 72 people−and not all of them were known dissidents. According...
