"Syria has realized an important political achievement for the Palestinian cause," proclaimed the Damascus newspaper Al Thawra. "The Security Council's resolution was a defeat for the step-by-step diplomacy and the policy of bilateral and partial solutions." Syrian Defense Minister Major-General Moustafa Tlas also gratuitously sneered at the Egyptian-Israeli accord on the Sinai.

The surprising victories of Sara Mae Berman and David Clem, two liberal candidates from neighborhoods east of Harvard Square, indicate a partial success here.
