...sexual encounter in Vox is the very opposite of another contemporary landmark of literary eroticism, the zipless sex of the '70s. Erica Jong's cheesy fiction offered a New Age pardon for the grunting libido of genital-to- genital sex. Zipless meant voiceless.

...miss in your search for your identity. Pan-Arabism was never held together only because of a common "Zionist" enemy; if that were the case, then Pan-Arabism would be nothing but an anti-Zionist movement. If you made an attempt to discuss Arabism with your fellow Arabs (and pardon me for calling them your "fellows"), you would realize that the power that holds us together is our common traditions, common language, common history, common origins, common culture and common feelings...
