...little sympathy for either half of the peace envisioned in the West. Syria not only rejects the existence of an Israeli state, it has little use for a Palestinian state. Syria and its favorite Lebanese terror group, the Syrian Socialist Nationalist Party, have a different vision. An Associated Press dispatch summarizes it nicely: "The secular SSNP seeks the merger of Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, pre-Israel Palestine, Iraq, Kuwait and Cyprus" -- Cyprus! -- "into a Greater Syria...
Immediately after the Chernobyl nuclear accident last April, the Soviets spurned U.S. offers of aid. But they did allow Millionaire Industrialist Armand Hammer to dispatch his friend Bone Marrow Specialist Dr. Robert Gale to help. Two weeks ago Hammer became the first known nonmedical Westerner to meet with those hospitalized by the disaster.

Customs Service technicians built the system from scratch, starting with computer software borrowed from the Pentagon. "We're light-years ahead of the military. I'm very...
...revolution of the center." For the moment, Filipinos, profoundly desirous of change, seem content simply to celebrate their emancipation. Says Lopez: "The people are happy that Marcos is gone, and that is the main thing." The challenge for the new President is to harness that spirit--and with dispatch--so that she can begin to tackle the array of problems confronting her. Says one of her supporters: "If Cory continues to be mesmerized by the euphoria of so-called people power and ignores the practical realities of politics, she will stumble sooner than expected." She clearly does not intend...
