...years ago, Fahd was close to reaching an agreement with Arafat under which Fatah would renounce terrorism in favor of a negotiated peace, a deal that collapsed following Sadat's trip to Jerusalem last November. But Fahd's support for Arafat did not waver. When the Israelis invaded southern Lebanon this spring, the first shipment of arms to reach the P.L.O. guerrillas came from Saudi Arabia...
...black male worker in 1970 had only 1.2 fewer years of schooling than the average white, and the gap is probably smaller now.

...victim and the enemy objectively would be as ineffective as Feldstein's article. His isolated emotional narrative only serves to perpetuate the mischanneled power of the press; for The Crimson to carry an article that comments on the entire issue of the dilemma of Israeli-Palestinian confrontation along the southern Lebanese-northern Israeli border in terms of a diary-type dialogue that portrays "fanatical heartless Palestinian terrorists" attacking "innocent Israeli kibbutznik victims" accomplishes little but to perpetuate the general ignorance of the reading public on the complex issue in the Middle East...
