...strengthen Palestinian democracy - a direct challenge to the authoritarian cronyism of Arafat's regime - and a shift back towards non-violent protest against Israel's occupation in what they consider to be an "overly-militarized intifada." And Arafat's own point-man in Jerusalem, the philosophy professor Dr. Sari Nusseibeh, has ruffled feathers by publicly urging his countrymen to drop the demand for the right of return by 3 million Palestinian refugees to Israel proper - a demand Arafat himself continues to evince as an article of faith. Nusseibeh has also conceded that the future Palestinian state would have to remain...

These are isolated instances of a sense of paranoid McCarthyism which we had thankfully left behind us. We must not allow it to resurface at a time when we need careful analysis and effective...
...longest beach in the world, a jungle-lined stretch of white sand that runs unbroken for 120 km. Women can forget about soaking up the rays in skimpy swimsuits unless they want to attract a whirling crowd of oglers. In Bangladesh, ladies take the surf in full sari. Muslim beach etiquette aside, Cox's Bazar has all the potential of a serene seaside getaway: take a rickshaw around the dusty lanes and absorb the Burmese influences on Bengali culture. Local cigars and handloom products of the Rakhyne tribal families are good buys, as are multicolored sarongs and handwoven scarves. Hotel...
