...required by Bush's proposal to agree to trade any territory for peace or to halt its construction of new settlements on the West Bank. "I don't believe in territorial compromise," Shamir insisted last week. Baker delivered an Arab offer to suspend the 43-year economic boycott of Israel in return for putting the settlements on hold.

But the A.N.C. is not exactly doing all it can to promote a climate of peace. As it was criticizing De Klerk last week, the A.N.C. refused to attend a conference on violence held in Pretoria. Reason: it preferred that a church group...
