...REVIEW committee now studying I.M. Pei's Library plans should consider the benefits the Kennedy Library will bring to Cambridge residents as well as the very real problems in the plans. Parking must be provided either on-site or off-site if Cambridge is to avoid becoming an impenetrable morass of cars; adequate commercial frontage must be provided for visitor services.

In Afghanistan and in the the Israel-Palestine morass, Bush has pursued goals that are widely shared by other nations. Iraq--where the U.S. and its ally Britain waged a pre-emptive war against a regime that had not yet acted against their own vital interests--is another matter.
