Under MCAD procedure, Harvard will now enter into attempts to conciliate with Sing's lawyer and an MCAD lawyer. If Harvard refuses to enter into conciliation or if the two parties fail to reach an agreement, the case will come before an MCAD commissioner for an evidentiary hearing, a procedure similiar to a trial...
...Soviets, who two months ago were pressing to reconvene the multi-nation Geneva Conference, are now less eager to sponsor such a meeting. They are worried that it might fail and seem resigned to another Kissinger attempt at direct diplomacy. At his meeting with Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko in Vienna's Hotel Imperial two weeks ago, Kissinger was asked by a newsman if he would return soon to the Middle East.

The literary problem is that since Arafat is in fact not dead and the plot is not cast in the future, the reader knows that the assassination must fail. Frederick Forsyth managed to turn this liability into an asset in The Day of the Jackal. Black fails to do so, and the book's only suspense is in learning what form failure will take...
