...think in one sense that Larry Summers is the Ariel Sharon of American higher education,” West said on Smiley’s show. “He acts like a bull in a china shop; he acts like a bully in a very delicate and dangerous situation...

Perhaps. Sharon's apparent indifference to the administration's calls for immediate withdrawal suggest the Israeli leader read Powell's circuitous itinerary as evidence of a tacit understanding by Washington of his objectives. And the Israeli leader believes, rightly...
