...toward the milling group, Rahamim fired three shots at close range, killing one of the Arabs, Abdel Moshen Hassan, a 32-year-old Jordanian. The police then took into custody his three companions, including one woman, a 22-year-old schoolteacher named Amena Dahbor. All three claimed to be Palestinian...
Berman, who is a New Yorker and a Jew, spoke with compassion of the woes of the Palestinian Arabs (he pronounced the word "Ay-rab" and referred to Sirhan as "Saran"). He dramatically underlined the word "intoxicated" (". . . while in a disturbed mental state, intoxicated and confused . . ."), an indication that the defense intends to bolster the contention that Sirhan was "out of contact with reality." This condition was induced, Berman said, when Sirhan "concentrated in front of a mirror in his own room and thought and thought about Senator Kennedy until at last he saw his own face no longer...
...Palestinian Power. Negotiations are likely to be painfully slow, not only because of the vast gulf between the Arab and Israeli positions but also because of the sheer number of participants: the U.S., Russia, Britain, France, Israel, Egypt and Jordan, plus the U.N.'s Jarring.

Though Sirhan is a Palestinian Arab who is known to be strongly anti-Zionist, Defense Attorney Grant Cooper had made no secret of the fact that he wanted a Jewish juror or two, saying: "I find them a very compassionate people."

Sirhan's lawyers admitted that they tend to distrust bankers (they are too used to saying "no"), overly beautiful women (too self-centered) and anybody who seems too eager...
Preview Policy. In Lebanon's case, Israel's policy of holding Arab governments responsible for raids by Palestinian fedayeen might prove counterproductive. Lebanon has paid lip service to the guerrillas, but its army had always been under strict orders to prevent incursions into Israel. Now, declared the Beirut daily An Nahar, "Lebanon has entered the June 5 war." The government considered plans for a draft to bolster its 15,000-man army, but at the same time Lebanese Defense Minister Hussein Oweini reasserted that Lebanon would not knowingly permit the fedayeen to operate from its soil...
