...either Sharon or Shamir. When asked about the proposal last week, an aide to the Prime Minister remarked: "That's General Sharon's own theory. It's not Begin's opinion. One can say that Begin admires King Hussein and believes he's a brave man and he is able to survive. Begin thinks the P.L.O. is a source of trouble wherever it is." Neither does Washington give much credence to the Sharon plan. "Farfetched," said a U.S. intelligence official, adding: "It's hard to imagine how you get the P.L.O. from Lebanon into...
BECAUSE HE DEVOTES the bulk of Truth . . . And Consequences to tracing the wins and losses of the seven heroes who spoke their minds, Mitchell can never pinpoint precisely why so few Americans are brave enough to speak out.

Yeats describe a sweet metaphysical arc: "Time that is intolerant/ Of the brave and innocent/ And indifferent in a week/ To a beautiful physique/ Worships language and forgives/ Everyone by whom it lives." Yes: time grants pardon. But the law is not in the trade of metaphysics; the law's only hope of survival lies precisely in its struggle to be impartial. The Mailer doctrine suggests that somehow the law should set up separate standards for artists. There are grotesque possibilities here. Who judges the literary...
