...emotional pleas fail to convince me that Israel should let the riots continue. Stories of atrocities may arouse sympathy, but they are no substitute for the reasoned discourse that will lead to a political solution for Palestine. SAS should attempt to further that discourse by educating students about the actual position of the PLO, of Israel, and of Secretary of State George P. Schultz. Leave horror stories to the news media...
...disagree with the analysis, but are discomfited at finding themselves within range of Arab missiles. When asked about the Saudi arsenal, Yossi Ben-Aharon, the director general of the Prime Minister's office, replied ominously, "Israel has acquired a reputation of not waiting until a potential danger becomes an actual danger...

...modern world. Extramarital sex violates no norms, it's simply an act. The novel takes Sarah Worth out of a suburban sterility as arid as any Arizona desert and into a empty series of heterosexual and homosexual love affairs. We are even provided with an actual transcription of her first sexual encounter with the Ahrat, courtesy of a miniaturized tape recorder fastened to her breast. The endless repetition of these erotic adventures strips them of any moral aspect...
