This incident was particularly significant in light of the frequency and piety with which my friends expounded on the evils of the Islamic code of honor. These friends were not "typical Algerians." They were literary malcontents who spent much of their time in cafes discussing how alienated they were from Algeria. Most of them came from poor families in rural areas and most of them had been disowned or denounced by their families for rebelling against Islam. They had come to Algiers lonely and displaced and had found each other. In effect they were brought together by their rebellion against...
...lived in constant fear of the Harrises, as she claimed, Browning put on the stand Ronald Furgerson, an FBI cryptology expert, who testified about a communications system used by the S.L.A. that was found in her handbag on the day of her arrest. The data, written in code on a card, gave the numbers of public telephones in the San Francisco area. A similar card was found on William Harris when he was arrested.

Allon has on occasion indicated, and here I too become a code decipherer, that his views on peace negotiations and a final settlement are considerably more flexible than those of his prominent collegues in the cabinet. But it is far more likely that the emergence of Avineri is without major significance in terms of policy...
...peace proposals was in the offing could have given Rabin and his government a brief respite from condemnation and rhetorical attack by most of the world, including Israel's former allies in Western Europe. Unfortunately, no such public relations opportunity is available, since Israel has never been a code decipherer's paradise, and the Avineri appointment remained no more than an Associated Press dispatch...
