...first report in the London medical journal the Lancet. Now they have additional data prepared for publication, and another physician, Dr. Seymour Jotkowitz of Hackensack, has described an "impressive incidence of contact with sick dogs" in MS patients. Perhaps it is significant that among the many viruses that dogs harbor, one that causes distemper is a first cousin to that of the long-suspected human measles. Whether household pet dogs can ever be proved guilty of carrying an MS-related virus and what that virus may be are still open questions.

To achieve that, of course, the statement need not have been public. But the Administration also wanted to preserve its role as mediator by emphasizing the distance between its view of the shape of a possible settlement and Jerusalem's. Moreover, Begin's line is now being vocally defended by many U.S. Jews, which is causing growing friction between the White House and the American Jewish community.
