...innocence. It was not the cold recital of available facts some of us had hoped for; but it was not a staunch defense of the record either. It fell between the two stools, defining rather than mitigating disaster. No one watching Nixon's desperation and anguish could avoid the impression that he was no longer in control of events...
...first day in Jerusalem, I could sense that Israel had crossed the psychological Rubicon; it was at least thinking about moving to the west of Quneitra, beyond the pre-1973 defense line.
