...teach-in on pro-sexism". Would the norms of fairness and free speech be violated? You bet they would, and the Harvard feminist groups would, view them as having been violated (and rightly so). Or suppose a not so hypothetical Harvard Conservative Club and the editors of the Harvard Salient invited the Grand Wizard of the Klu Klux Klan to a "private teach-in on states rights". Would the norms of fairness and free speech be violated? You bet they would, and the Harvard Black Students Association and--yes--the Harvard Black Law Students Association would view them as having...
...that bravado, the importance of outside support for the F.D.N. operation is obvious. The contras maintain more than a dozen base camps in Honduras; five of them are in a border salient close to the spot where a U.S. military helicopter was shot down last January by Nicaraguan border guards. Helicopter flights link the F.D.N. camps with the interior of Honduras and, according to some of the contra leadership, with rebel task forces inside Nicaragua. (An unmarked helicopter also removed A.R.D.E. casualties from the battle at San Juan del Norte.) The F.D.N. has no helicopters; the apparent conclusion is that...
...most salient feature of Gaye's style was, as he himself, acknowledged, he was "always looking for something new." His albums continued to surprise by including songs that represented a large gamut of musical influences. His very proficiency made him seem timeless--it became hard to believe that anything would stop the continuing progression of successful Gaye albums, a legacy recently sustained by his Oscar-winning "Midnight Love." Hard to believe--as the evidence indicates--that the gospel-playing father who started Gaye's career would put three bullets into his son's chest, reportedly over "bad blood" between them...
...last decade. From Israel came a delegation of Knesset (Parliament) members from the Alignment (the Labor and Mapam parties) and from the Shinui party--both of them in the opposition to the governing Likud coalition. The head of the Israeli delegation, Yossi Sarid, 43, is the most salient dove in the Labor party and one of the most talented members of Knesset. He is, in a way, the flagbearer for tens or hundreds of thousands of people in Israel, who believe in a dialogue with the Palestinians and the Arab states and strongly oppose the war in Lebanon...
This gaping hole in the liberal view of the world becomes very salient when one considers Central America. While Ted Kennedy, Walter Mondale, New York Representative Stephen Solarz and others chide the Reagan Administration for its callous support of corrupt and repressive retimes in Haiti, Guatemala, El Salvador and other places, these people have nothing to say about Israel's role in selling arms to these same repressive regimes. Happily, Errol Louis breaks the ice by making it clear to all who oppose the apartheid regime in South Africa that they must also begin to oppose the foreign and military...
