Aside from an early-and never repeated-statement that Nasser might be willing to let Israeli ships use the Suez Canal "under certain conditions," Hussein said little that he had not been saying for months. The Arabs were willing to recognize Israel's right to exist, but not necessarily to recognize Israel. They wanted a "just and lasting peace" but not a formal peace treaty. And before any settlement could even be considered, Israel must withdraw its troops from occupied Arab lands. At one point, the King even seemed to harden the Arab line: before...

Moreover, the Soviet state holds...
...capricious incidence of the punishments, because I think that certain groups of undergraduates have been forced to carry an unfair share of the penalties. On the other hand, the punishments themselves are vary much lighter than I had anticipated up until the very last moment. Furthermore, appeal procedures exist that may be able to correct manifest injustices. Thought the character of the punishment is indeed important, it is even more important to try to perceive and assess the situation in which we all find ourselves. It is on this score that I would like to offer some personal observations...
