...today outside Austin Hall at Harvard Law School, the Harvard Jewish Law Students Association (HJLSA), in conjunction with other student groups, will protest the anti-Jewish propaganda and terrorist activities of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO). The protests will immediately precede the appearance of Hasan Abdul Rahman, a registered agent of the PLO and the leading PLO propagandist in the United States...
...will not be permitted. Rather, all questions must be submitted to the organizers, who, in turn, will choose which questions will be "asked." As if such controlled questioning were not enough, the organizers are providing "marshals" to keep control of the audience. At other schools, such as Princeton, Pro PLO marshals have threatened unauthorized questioners with physical violence.

Yasir Arafat had the opportunity last week to dissociate himself from the mafioso style of politics that has long characterized inner PLO circles. Instead, speaking to reporters in North Yemen, the guerrilla chieftain, in an unfounded and preposterous charge, blamed Israeli agents for the Sartawi assassination. Despite such consistently irresponsible behavior, a number of European governments--Greece and Austria among-them--have established close relationships with PLO representatives. The PLO, they argue, should be welcomed into the diplomatic community by both the United States and Israel as the legitimate voice for Palestinian national aspirations...
