By turning him into an embattled symbol of Palestinian national aspirations with Israeli tanks outside his front door and missiles being fired into his yard, Sharon appears to have done Arafat a huge political favor. Pollsters are finding Arafat more popular than he has been in months, and the fact that most of the current wave of Palestinian armed attacks are being carried out by militants of his own Fatah movement have, if anything...

Tuesday’s event can hardly be called civil disobedience. The former mayor of Cambridge, Anthony D. Gallucio, and Cambridge Democratic State Rep. Jarrett T. Barrios ’90 were on hand to encourage the protesters. The police briefed the protesters before their arrest on the procedures they would follow. Like the Mass. Hall student sit-in last spring, the event had the air of a worker’s carnival, not a grim display of resolve in the face...
