Meantime, the U.S. still finds itself in the curious position of backing Namibian independence while refusing to condemn South Africa's Angolan incursions. One compelling reason for that refusal: as a charter member of the contact group that hopes to mediate a settlement of the issue, the U.S. cannot afford to choose sides. In deed, American and Angolan officials have already made plans to resume the bi lateral discussions they began last year...
...influential committees, such as Ways and Means, earn $34,000. McGee himself currently receives $65,000, making him (along with the president of the Massachusetts Senate) the highest paid state legislator in the United States. He directs the daily flow of legislation and has been known to condemn the initiatives of those he dislikes to infamous "Siberian" committees where bills are left to die, forgotten by all but the sponsors.

He calls the articles "remarkable." I, too, would call Louis' articles "remarkable." They stand out as examples of how half-truth, distortion and general misinformation can be used to convince people that Israeli policies (in this case regarding South Africa) are immoral and that Israel should not be supported...
