...wake of the month-long rebellion that has swept through the occupied Gaza Strip and West Bank. Though seven have already spent time in prison, six for involvement in terrorism, the Israeli army accused only three of directly fomenting the recent riots; the rest are asserted to be "hard-core agitators." Hamad, though not cited for involvement in the current unrest, is accused of "organizing disturbances and participating in them" in his role as a leader of the Shabiba, a young men's group with close ties to the outlawed Palestine Liberation Organization. The Israelis say that 876 Palestinians have...
...blacks the human rights that even a Civil War a century earlier had not bestowed. The civil rights movement from Montgomery to Memphis was an American epic, with a thousand evocations of place and name: the lunch counters of Greensboro in 1960; the "Freedom Riders" of 1961; SNCC; CORE; the March on Washington; James Meredith; Medgar Evers; Bull Connor in Birmingham; Philadelphia, Miss.; Schwerner, Goodman and Chaney . . .

...would so many G.O.P. candidates risk alienating their party's voters on a crucial issue? Because opposition to the INF treaty appeals to the hard-core conservatives, and long-shot candidates Kemp, du Pont and Robertson need their support to stay in the race. Trailing far behind Bush and Dole in name recognition, money, organization, poll support and credibility, these "flanking" candidates have little chance unless one of them becomes the sole darling of the G.O.P.'s right wing. Du Pont, a onetime moderate who is now a born-again right-winger, got a boost in this direction last week...
Some polls indicate that each of the three major candidates has a solid core of 20% support, while 10% could go to minor candidates and about 30% remain undecided. Given the size of the field and the fact that there will be no runoff, the winner may not need much more than 30% to 35% of the ballot...
