Says Dr. Yunis Abu Rabiya, a respected Bedouin physician in Beersheba: "How can a country that calls itself democratic pass a law that denies the elementary citizen's right of appeal to the courts?" The Bedouins also charge that the proposed law is based on outright "racism" because it is aimed exclusively at Arabs. The Bedouins have a case: last week Agriculture Minister Ariel Sharon began long and detailed negotiations to compensate 5,000 Jewish settlers who will be forced to give up their homes in the Sinai as a result of the peace treaty...
More than building the first atomic bomb, more even than putting the first men on the moon, the creation from scratch of an entirely new industry to produce synthetic fuels would be the most ambitious technical venture that the U.S. has ever undertaken.

...amateur-photography field but had used this power unfairly. Berkey was awarded treble damages of $87 million. Now, in an equally stunning reversal, the U.S. Second Circuit Court of Appeals has thrown out all but $990,000 of the 1978 award; it dismissed $45.8 million of the damages outright and said that only a new trial could determine if Kodak must pay the rest of the award...
