...knowledge over suppression of fact, for light over darkness. Silly books--like those on Garfield, diets, sex, herpes and Presidential sex partners may provoke outrage for a time, especially since their advice is often dubious at best. Yet our fury soon subsides to irritation, as we reach the tacit decision that it's worth suffering floods of such drek to keep the press totally open and free...
...advances that concern. No Israeli government can be expected to negotiate with the P.L.O. as long as it will not recognize Israel's right to exist. Equally, no Arab nation can be expected to join Egypt in the autonomy negotiations with Israel unless the P.L.O. gives at least tacit approval.

One reason was offered last week by a member of the Palestine National Council, the quasi parliament that theoretically directs the P.L.O.: "With our military option no longer existing, we realize we must work politically...

The Deuxième claims to have killed or wounded some 4,000 rebels during the Algerian war, while only 171 of its men were killed and 427 wounded. The unit remained neutral when...
...Soviets are counting on the impact of their own negotiating tactics, combined with growing pressure from the West European allies and the nuclear-freeze movement in the U.S., to improve prospects for a new pact. Moscow's hope is that the Administration will gradually be forced into a tacit acceptance of SALT, both as a set of ground rules for competition in the short run and as a basis for a new, long-term treaty...
