...does Jerusalem's mayor insist on a unified Jerusalem when the city's inhabitants are not treated equally [WORLD, Aug. 7]? The city is already split. In [traditionally Arab] East Jerusalem, rubbish literally covers the ground. On the West side, however, the streets are clean and everything is conveniently available. My quality of life will never improve unless people have sovereignty over themselves. NADIA AWAD East Jerusalem...
...forced to concede that what he's guilty of is simply the negligent handling of highly classified material rather than any Rosenberg-style treason. (The Jewish-American couple were executed in the '50s after being convicted of passing U.S. nuclear secrets to the Soviets.) And Dr. Lee's supporters insist that, like Dreyfus, the Los Alamos nuclear scientist was targeted primarily because of his ethnicity - a charge the FBI and Justice Department vehemently deny...

McCollum is already painting Nelson as a "Clinton clone," and pols who have faced Nelson before insist that he "likes close fighting with a dull knife," says a G.O.P. leader.

It is an awful paradox that compassion should come at so steep a price. This is why Annan doesn't insist on universal application of his doctrine. What he believes is that the world needs to create a climate in which brutality is the exception rather than the rule. It means using other weapons--sanctions, for instance--to slow killing. And it means giving nations trapped in cycles of violence the tools...
