...risky, but perhaps inescapable?in view of the alternatives. Jimmy Carter last month called the conference only when he became convinced that the Middle East peace initiative, dramatized last November by Sadat's "sacred mission" to Jerusalem, was grinding to a dangerous halt, and that conventional diplomacy had found no way to renew it. And in the Middle East, stalemate generally contains the danger of increased terrorism or, ultimately, another war.

Only 10% of these institutions are located in the poverty-stricken northeast, where nearly one-half of the country's deprived young are to be found.
