...this light, the Soviet pullback in the Third World is an autonomous Soviet decision, the first fruit of Gorbachev's "new thinking." The problem with this theory is that it overlooks one fact. In this sense it is very much like the common explanation of Gorbachev's acquiescence to American terms for the INF treaty. Did Gorbachev withdraw his SS-20s from Europe because of a change in ideology? Because he wanted to turn his attention to domestic tasks?

When a mob stoned Israeli cars in the village of Beit Omer a few weeks ago, the authorities retaliated by refusing to issue market permits to 50 local fruit growers; now millions of dollars worth of plums are rotting on the trees.

The old story: strange fruit hanging from a poplar tree, the night riders in sheets come North now. Was hers not the primal American tale of violated black innocence, of white bigotry that wears a badge and goes unpunished? Did it not reverberate with all the horrors of America's original sin? Did it not recapitulate, precisely, the original drama of abduction and violation that brought black Africans...
