Crown Prince Hassan praised the Reagan initiative of last year but criticized the U.S. for "not accompanying the plan with a coherent peace strategy." He urged the U.S. to "squeeze us all a little in the interest of peace" and added that the problem of Palestine, the "root cause" of the continuing Arab-Israeli conflict, "is as far from resolution as it has ever been."

Above all else, The Right Stuff offers an engaging and appealing examination of a brotherhood of men.
