That is true, as far as it goes. But Carter is convinced, as are U.S. allies in Western Europe, that unless the Palestinians can be persuaded to participate in the autonomy plan, the whole fragile goal of a wider Middle East peace is in jeopardy. All the ferment in the Middle East, Israel's uneasiness, Arab efforts to influence events in new forms, are part of that difficult, unsettling, but necessary process...
More important than knowing the specific office or official who can help you, though, is simply the willingness to trudge from office to office until you've accomplished your goal. The corridors you'll wait in may be filled with lines of people waiting for audiences, and your tete a tete with an administrator may prove discouraging or unfruitful, but at least you will be taking some form of action.

This would greatly help Washington's effort to prove to skeptical Arab governments that the Egyptian-Israeli agreement can indeed...
...support of this view, they cite the much debated research by such American scientists as Arthur Jensen, William Shockley and Edward O. Wilson. France's New Righters thus call for a "meritocratic" society in which the ablest and most intelligent would rule. As practical steps toward this goal, they suggest a variety of programs ranging from abortion and genetic control to a new kind of elitist education that would involve the early selection of children with high IQs for special training...
