...Benjamin Beit-Hallahmi of Haifa University were not addressing their "area of expertise." What are Chomsky, a linguistics professor, and Beit-Hallahmi, a psychologist, doing talking about foreign affairs? This ad hominem reasoning would disqualify many of the leading critics of the Vietnam War, including Chomsky, and, for that matter, many leading supporters of Israel. Beit-Hallahmi, who appeared on WBGH's "Public Television Evening News" as an expert (along with Harvard's Nadav Safran), has written and lectured extensively on Israel's odious ties with South Africa...

...Rockefeller Group last month set off even more worrisome reports. JAPANESE BUY HEART OF N.Y., declared the Dallas Times Herald. "The roll call of all-American icons falling into foreigners' hands added a new name yesterday," reported Newsday. "When the whole house is being sold off, it doesn't matter much that a cherished heirloom goes as well," sobbed the San Jose Mercury News. The Sacramento Bee carried a photo of "delighted" Japanese tourists gazing at the property now controlled by "their countrymen...
