...would expect the Syrians to agree that, following our withdrawal, they will not extend their presence in Lebanon, that they will discourage terrorist activities against Israel and agree to U.N. forces replacing us. If the Syrians do not understand that it is to their advantage for us to withdraw, we will remain where we are. I do not expect the Syrians to withdraw completely, but perhaps partially, because they are trying to control Lebanon, an uncontrollable country. What they are trying to do in Lebanon is to gain leadership in the Arab world, and to show that they have forced...
...next arguments which Bok attempts to make were all dealt with and refused at length by the Advisory Committee. Bok argues that Harvard's divestment alone would not have the effect of forcing U.S. companies to withdraw. This is, of course, true, as the ACSR acknowledge. But we must consider not merely the individual effects of Harvard's divestment, but the cumulative effect of divestments all over the country.

There is a powerful reason for Israel's growing flexibility: last week two more Israeli soldiers were killed and ten wounded by unknown assailants in surprise attacks. "We have only two desires," says...
Murphy's return to Syria suggested to some that Assad might be amenable to a U.S.-brokered Israeli withdrawal. It has generally been assumed that Syria felt it had nothing to lose in seeing Israel mired in Lebanon. Some Western diplomats in Damascus contend, however, that Assad now fears that the growing violence against the Israelis in southern Lebanon may trigger a retaliatory attack by Israel against Syrian troops. These diplomats do not believe that Damascus has dropped its demand that Jerusalem unilaterally withdraw its soldiers and disband the Israeli-supplied Lebanese militia that helps patrol the region.
