...point Shahak insists on making almost as often as he speaks or writes is the distinction between "principle" and "slogan." The former he describes as a belief under which an individual orders his life and a nation orders its social system. The latter is merely polemic...
Sampson's somewhat over-detailed accounts of bribery and cynical diplomacy take up space which could be devoted to developing a broader perspective. He cites Japan as one industrialized, oil-starved nation which has avoized any complicity in the arms market, but he does not study this anomaly in order to offer any morals to the rest of the world.

(Israeli authorities have arranged with Jordan to cooperate in the immunization of 5,000 Muslims living in Israel or occupied territories who will be making the pilgrimage.) Arab governments are so concerned that this week they will hold a 20-nation meeting in Cairo to decide on the best protective measures. The comma-shaped bacterium (Vibrio cholerae) responsible for cholera finds its natural breeding ground in the human bowel, and is excreted in the feces. The disease can be contracted only by drinking-or bathing and washing in-water containing human...
