Naked Terrorism. The Jews of Greater New York-who outnumber the combined populations of Tel Aviv and Jerusalem by more than a million -raged against the P.L.O. leader's Manhattan appearance last week with threats of violence and demonstrations that taxed the city's police department. Outside the U.N., the scene was complicated by the appearance not only of anti-Arafatists but of pro-Palestinians as well.

Said one fan: "He took off like a jet." And when the Panovs completed the program with Valeri's own choreography...
...would be up to the Palestinians to designate by plebiscite their choice of a government to succeed Israeli occupation forces. The sticking point is that Israel is ready to negotiate with Hussein, but not with the P.L.O. in any way. Premier Yitzhak Rabin told Labor Party leaders in Tel Aviv last week: "There is only one meeting place for Israel and the terrorist organizations, and that is on the battlefield...
