...government. Sadly, however, the world will probably never know the real facts--Israel has refused to allow a United Nations investigation of the massacre, making the world wonder what Israel has to hide. Israel has instead promised to conduct its own investigation, but was quick to add that no policeman involved in the massacre would be forced to testify and that no finding would be binding.

Rowdies grappled with police and burned effigies of Mohawks hanging from a lamppost. Since a policeman was killed two weeks ago during an assault on another Mohawk blockage at Oka, 19 miles to the west, that town and Chateauguay have become scenes of an edgy standoff over the volatile issue of Indian land rights. The Indians have been protesting plans to expand a golf course into a forest that...
