...offered the alternative to a war to recover occupied territories. The Israelis perceived it as the only way to obtain true peace. But what of the status of the Palestinians? Two years ago, the Brookings Institution, in a study report on the Middle East now famous as "the purple pamphlet," had called for an independent Palestinian state or entity as a possible solution. Among the authors of the purple pamphlet: Zbig Brzezinski, then a professor of political science at Columbia University, and fellow Academic (University of Pennsylvania) William Quandt, now Brzezinski's Middle East deskman at the National Security Council...

...Wamponoags were further shuffled around in 1711, when the governor sold his interest in the land to a missionary society. After the American Revolution, the missionaries withdrew and the Indians found themselves under the control of absentee landlords as "involuntary wards of the state." According to a Wamponoag historical pamphlet, wards had no control over their lands and homes, could not make legally binding contracts, and "were classed with paupers, aliens, idiots and the insane in their relationship to the government." The Wamponoags remained in this state until 1870 when Gay Head was incoporated as a town...
