...frustrated in every attempt to move the many parties in the Middle East toward peace -- and he seemed to blame Arab leaders far more than Israeli intransigence for his failures. His personal distrust of the Arabs stems from their regular rejection of his initiatives, such as the 1983 Lebanon accord, which was immediately scuttled by Syria. At the same time, his support for Israel, despite provocations like the Pollard spy affair, has been unflagging...

...race, Turner's pitch grew increasingly shrill. U.S. officials had remained silent to avoid any hint of interference in Canadian affairs. Yet when Ronald Reagan made a bland 30-second reference to the free- trade pact in a long-planned speech on global trade -- the President called the accord "an example of cooperation at its best" -- Turner described Reagan's words as a "major breach of courtesy between the two nations" and castigated Mulroney for getting "his good friend at head office, Ronald Reagan, to help him do a job he can't complete himself." Again and again, Turner hammered...
