...question is whether the U.S. will gain anything much to compensate for, and eventually assuage, Israeli and American Jewish wrath. Deeply worried about the fragility of the truce in Lebanon, the Administration hopes to replace a Saudi-mediated cease-fire with a more permanent arrangement to restore the authority of the Beirut government over its own country; that would involve withdrawal of Syrian troops and stringent restrictions on P.L.O. activity in the country. Reagan's special envoy, Philip Habib, will return to Beirut in mid-November to see what can be done in enlisting Saudi and Israeli support for such...

If only Bobby Sands had struck for truce talks or had suggested a workable solution, he would have been a real hero. Northern Ireland does not need a Bobby Sands, whose hunger strike was planned provocation. It needs a new peace movement. It needs the majority of sensible Irish to tell the minority of senseless fanatics to stop...
