INSTEAD, THE INVITATION served as additional salt in the wounds of anti-apartheid activists. The reception recalled a similar recent episode when a Black Law School group invited a PLO representative to a meeting where Jewish students were not allowed to ask questions. Jewish groups were enraged then; the anti-apartheid protesters had every right to be enraged last week. The subsequent police action--which came after no warning to the students--only confirmed for Harvard's doubters that the University is unprepared to deal with them in good faith...
...When translated into straight English, that means that it is provocative for a student organization to invite any person whose views some may find repellent. I disagree with the policies of the Reagan administration, I think the Soviet Union is an "evil empire", and I strongly disapprove of the PLO but I will forever defend the right of Caspar Weinberger, a Soviet diploma or a PLO spokesman to speak on this campus I might protest their presence peacefully but will not interfere with their entry into or exit from the University, or the presentation itself, when I--as a member...

After Sadat's death and the factionalization of the PLO in the wake of the Lebanon crisis, this is truer than ever. Yet in a book that attempts to get behind the news to discuss the attitudes forming the current standoff between Israel and her neighbors, communication rifts between Israel and Egypt are largely ignored...
...face on a bad situation. The bold steps taken at Camp David seven years ago have yet to flower into a broader agreement. The Israeli invasion of Lebanon has stalled even the warming between Israel and Egypt. And even the latest initiative by former foes Jordanian King Hussein and PLO head Arafat has met with skepticism from most Israelis...
