...Jewish settlements, they would probably have to be abandoned, unless their residents were willing to live under Palestinian sovereignty. Although the settlements have a symbolic importance to nationalist zealots, even some Israeli military experts agree that the outposts would be of little use in forestalling an external attack. Moreover, the animosities aroused among Palestinians by the settlements would seem to outweigh whatever minor security advantages they provide. If anything, the presence of the settlements has merely strengthened Palestinian resistance. Observes Columbia University Professor Edward Said, a noted Palestinian, with a touch of pride: "Throughout the occupation, and with...
...South Africa, quite simply, two kinds of news exist: pro-and anti-government. The five dailies and six weeklies published in Afrikaanin--the language of the white rule--are the voices of the Nationalist Party, the minority which gained control of the government in 1948 and instituted apartheid. The country also has 16 English-language dailies and 15 weeklies, two Black publications in English, and one in Zulu. With one exception, these papers are anti-government...
...ming, Associate History Professor Guy Alitto has completed the tortuous journey from dissertation to finished book. Alitto succeeds in retelling with new insight the story of intellectual crisis and quest in 20th-century China.

As part of the non-Communist opposition to Chiang Kai-shek's nationalist regime, Liang helped form the rural reconstruction movement that sought to create a new China on the backs of a liberated and mobilized peasantry. After the Communist victory in 1949, Liang's Confucian orientation towards rural reform became anathema, but because Mao knew Liang personally, aside from one campaign against...
Politics by terrorism is not confined to Tehran or Bogota. Last week, just one day before Puerto Rico's Democratic primary and three days before Illinois's general primary, two armed bands claiming to belong to the Puerto Rican nationalist F.A.L.N. attacked Carter-Mondale campaign headquarters in Chicago and George Bush's office in New York City, seizing hostages in both places. The F.A.L.N. (for Fuerzas Armadas de Liberatión National) has claimed responsibility for more than 100 bombings in major U.S. cities in the past six years and obviously wants to make Puerto Rico...
