...game of pull me forward--no, pull me back. The reader could be away for two years and return to find Yasser Arafat still debating whether to accept U.N. Security Council Resolution 242 and thus "implicitly recognize Israel's right to exist." Editors could save a forest of newsprint by printing only actual developments, manfully resisting a dogged repetition of what is already too familiar about the situation, including what is unpredictable. Journalists have their own derisive name for such wordy speculations: "thumb-suckers...
...Paul W. Green's editorial of October 16 ("Hiding Behind Veritas"). One can only assume, after reading this lengthy diatribe, that the price of newsprint is going down.

An undisclosed number of Cuban military advisers...
...government has also eased its tight censorship of the nation's only opposition newspaper, La Prensa. The paper, however, announced last week that because of a shortage of newsprint it would suspend publication indefinitely on Dec. 7. Editor Pedro Joaquin Chamorro blamed the shutdown on the government's refusal to release U.S. dollars to buy newsprint. He also acknowledged that censorship had eased, though not ended. Indeed, his announcement of the shutdown was censored completely...
