...demonstration was being held for the Day of the Land, which for Palestinians is "the equivalent of a national day." It was the first since the intifada. Al-Quds, A.U.C.'s Palestinian club, was holding a bookfair and some rightist students from the university got into an argument with one of the club members working at a bookstall. They seemed to think the books he was selling carried over-extreme messages, and so ("these people have a lot of power, they're in the super-elite") they called a university security guard to take the student away...

...People's Congress in mid-December, saying it would have to wait until constitutional revision as a whole is considered. But he may not get his way in that respect -- as well as in many others. The Soviet Communist Party has already split into so many factions -- rightist, leftist, nationalist -- that it is less a single entity than an umbrella organization in which policy battles are being fought out. Pluralism in one party could precede the development of separate parties in the U.S.S.R...
