Today most political activity in the territories is banned, and membership in political organizations is severely restricted. This has helped spawn underground nationalist and religious movements that favor radical solutions. Paralleling the clampdown on political thought is a policy of strict, often arbitrary censorship of all newspapers, magazines and books that circulate in the territories. Last week Israel launched its latest crackdown on the Palestinian press. It detained six journalists, held two for interrogation and ordered one jailed for up to six months...
...subversive epiphanies with a mockery of religious ritual, and Pat launches Thomas Flanagan's The Tenants of Time with a polite spoof on the rituals of orthodox history. Prentiss is a young Irish pedant, fresh out of New College, Oxford, and itching to write a book about a failed nationalist uprising in 1867. The final skirmish, known as the Battle of Clonbrony Wood, has become exaggerated in story and barroom ditty: "Let all true Irishmen be good,/ And fight for what they hold./ Like all those heroes brave and bold,/ Who held Clonbrony Wood...

Huntington is not the only person who thinks such negotiations could forestall revolution or continued civil war. Dr. Dennis Worrall--main architect of the previously-mentioned proposals for the 1984 constitution, which followed Huntington's philosophy so closely--dramatically resigned from the ruling Nationalist Party early this year. Like Huntington, Worrall criticizes the pace of government-imposed reform, and calls for more concerted efforts at indaba-type negotiations. While no one knows quite where Worrall is heading, it's certain he is backed by a "reform constituency" looking very much like the coalition Huntington first suggested in 1981--including elements...
