...nepotism and undue influence raised last year. In fact, the changes will probably make it even easier for Liem and his friends to dismiss tutors who fail to toe the party line.

...tactics and ideology of these opposition groups will continue to coincide. The far right fringe is more than capable of suddenly engaging in pitched battle outside Jericho--a move that would force the Labor government to treat it as a terrorist one.

If he comes, says Missad, "it will mean peace. We all want peace." But even here, Palestinians can't suppress the fear that self-rule is an Israeli trick that will turn their town into the symbol of a P.L.O. sellout...
