...East Jerusalem Arabs resent the reconstruction of the Old City's Jewish Quarter, which they see as the first step toward reducing the Arab population even further. Somewhat grudgingly, they tolerate other Israeli efforts to tidy up the Old City, like installing a cable network to get rid of unsightly (and somewhat incongruous) TV antennas. Says Mahmud Abu Zalef, editor of the Arab daily Al Quds: "Any improvement in the physical sense that will make Jerusalem more beautiful is okay with me. I don't care who does it.

Israeli officials sharply criticized Saunders for endorsing Arab sovereignty over the West Bank and East Jerusalem, though this has been American policy for more than a decade.

They also fear that the Supreme Court's decision in the Allan Bakke case will work against their admission to U.S. universities. Meanwhile, chicanos deeply resent the success of black colleges and universities in getting federal aid. Says Los Angeles School Board Member Julian Nava: "There are 120 black [U.S.] colleges and universities receiving multimillion-dollar subsidies from Congress, but there isn't a single, goddamned Mexican-American institution of higher education." Actually, there are five-all small, struggling colleges...
