...himself is a weak man, a Russian Hamlet to whom reality itself is the greatest antagonist.

Kassem had decided personally, said the prosecutor, not to divulge "details" of Aref's trial, "in the interests of Arab solidarity." Nor was any sentence made public, though for treason there is usually only one punishment, and that quite...
