...League points out that just six years ago even Palestinians in Israel proper were subject to these regulations, which frequently limited their movement from town to town, inhibited their freedom of speech and made their property liable to search at any time and often allegedly for no apparent reason. In general, Shahak says, Israel's Arab citizens (as opposed to West Bank residents) appear much, better off than they were even two years ago. However, Shahak continued to fight what he calls the uneven, double system of justice that still exists today...

Among old friends or in class at Harvard, where he taught for many years, he was a vivid, eloquent presence. He could hold forth for hours on any subject, his hands brushing back his unkempt white mane. And his poetry revealed the same confiding voice that animated his conversation. The controlled metrics of Lord Weary's Castle and The Mills of the Kavanaughs (1951) show the influence of Lowell's mentors, Allen Tate and John Crowe Ransom. In Imitations...
