...wall constructed between the business and editorial areas to discourage advertising salesmen from trying to influence coverage of their clients. "If you print something worthwhile, you get respected," says Pryor, 70, editor since 1959. "If you don't, you become a house organ." In fact, while both papers yearn to be taken seriously as tough, independent journalistic enterprises (and both have shown grit and knowledge in covering events like the ouster in July of embattled United Artists Chairman David Begelman), Daily Variety, founded in 1933, can more justly claim a tradition of shrewd analysis and lively if eccentric writing...
American policymakers, for their part, see a new chance to use the leverage that the Beirut crisis has given them to prod both sides toward the solution of a larger Middle East problem: the status of the Palestinians, who yearn for a homeland in the Israeli-occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip. Under heavy pressure from Arabs and some Europeans, the U.S. is considering the possibility of negotiating directly with the P.L.O., in return for an open declaration by the P.L.O. that it recognizes Israel's right to exist as a state.

And there are those people still, in our land, who yearn for the isolationist shell. But because we've rejected those other courses back over the recent decades, there has been peace for almost 40 years on the Western front...
...impact on the Western world and affect our vital interests. It is necessary, therefore, that political consultations be broadened. A global policy has to reflect the complexity and diversity of international society. It has to be responsible to the needs and aspirations of the poor and suppressed who yearn for the same freedoms that we enjoy and strive to protect. If we reduce complexity and diversity to the simple question of Soviet-American competition, international relations will harden and the dangers of confrontation will increase. Considerable pessimism can be felt before the economic summit. Mounting economic problems and increasing unemployment...
