...seem somewhat unlikely that a dinner conversation between a Saudi prince and a New York Times columnist could have such profound diplomatic consequences. (Abdullah's offer first came to light in conversation with the Times' Thomas Friedman.) Ariel Sharon was cajoled by the positive reaction of much of the Israeli political establishment - and, perhaps more importantly, by the same from the Bush administration - to take the offer seriously. EU security chief Javier Solana flew to Riyadh to discuss ways of promoting the initiative. And renewed talk of peace deals even appears to have sparked a mud fight between the Bush...
...Hentoff, prolific author on jazz and the First Amendment (39 published books) and Village Voice syndicated columnist is working on millions of things, like always. None of his current work is about Boston, but one of his favorite books, a memoir called Boston Boy about growing up in Roxbury, was recently re-released.

Israel occupied the West Bank, Gaza and the Golan Heights in the war of June 1967, and Abdullah is advocating that the latter be handed back to Syria and the two Palestinian enclaves become a Palestinian state...
...impugns its logic. "You'd have to be stark raving mad to try to hide marijuana in the middle of a hemp crop because of cross-pollination," he says. "I'm very proud of the fact that I've been attacked in High Times magazine." A High Times columnist called him a "dirtbag" for promoting hemp's potential to degrade marijuana grown nearby...
