...attempt to resolve the Arab-Israeli conflict. Carter's strategy, drawn largely from a 1975 Brookings Institution study, has been to coax the Arabs and Israelis to an early Geneva conference at which a comprehensive (in contrast to a step-by-step) solution would be negotiated. A fair settlement, according to Carter's many statements on the subject, would resolve three fundamental issues: the nature of peace for Israel, the borders of the warring states, and the fate of the Palestinians.

The Federal Trade Commission ruled in 1971 that Kennecott's Peabody purchase violated antitrust rules barring concentration in any given industry, arguing that the company could have entered the coal business by investing...
