...right to keep. That debate, while important, is secondary. The real issue is not Israel's specific size or shape but its basic right to exist. Most of the world has accepted and acknowledged that right, but not the Arabs. After their disastrous defeat, the Arab leaders still proclaim that their ambition is to build up enough strength to eradicate the state of Israel some day, even if it takes generations. They sound a little like Russian Czar Peter the Great, who remarked that he would force the Swedes to defeat him until "they teach us how to beat...

...found myself quite skeptical of this film's advance billing. We still think of film, perhaps (even those of us who proclaim loudest its potential for subtlety), as a medium best suited for the rendering of external action, as opposed to the action of the mind.

East Germany's culture minister used the recent 300th anniversary of the Dresden State Theater to proclaim that there is no common German culture, and a Foreign Ministry officer recently declared: "The word Germany now is only a geographical concept." Ulbricht even changed the name of East Germany's Secretariat for All-German Affairs to the Secretariat of West German Affairs, to show that the two Germanys...

...think it unfortunate that the Young Democrats rather uncourageously tried to control the content of the Sing Out show. Furthemore, it seems strange that those individuals, who so effectively demonstrated their bad manners by shouting down Sing Out are always the first to proclaim themselves libertarians. Perhaps instead of merely quoting Voltaire they should try to understand him. Donald W. Meaders...
