...some point, that pattern will have to include Syria, which has the muscle to hinder any settlement attempt. The Syrian Cabinet last week declared its intention to undermine the Mubarak-Hussein-Arafat initiative. Anyone who doubts Syria's resolve need only look at south Lebanon, where Shi'ite Muslims, inspired in part by Damascus' tough line vis-a-vis Israel, continue to attack Israeli forces. The Israelis, who are in the midst of withdrawing from south Lebanon, retaliated last week by staging raids on several Shi'ite villages suspected of harboring guerrillas. Against the backdrop of such continuing violence...
Journal editors said last week that Mobil's move would not hinder their reporting efforts. Said Managing Editor Norman Pearlstine: "The fact that we don't always print articles the way Herb Schmertz or his staff writes press releases should come as no surprise to anybody.

The pair were sentenced to two months' detention for disturbing public order. Dozens of others were briefly arrested at peaceful pro-Solidarity...
There was certainly no direct effect. The abolition of ROTC at Harvard did not materially hinder the war effort. ROTC was abolished at many universities yet there were still, a year after the Strike, enough officers to lead the ground troops into Cambodia. Nor did our protests put the war-makers in imminent peril. When the War finally stopped, those in control were faced not by a militant alliance of the forces of dissent, but rather by students and Panthers in considerable disarray...
