...four profess to reject the concept of an imposed settlement, which is anathema to both Arabs and Israelis. Instead, the diplomats hope to draw up a list of recommendations that Jarring would then present to both sides.

I signed that advertisement for the same reason that I voted against ROTC two weeks ago: because I believe that the freedom of a professor to profess is crucial to the very existence of a university.
