Dear Friend,

Below are Mideast editorials that have appeared in American newspapers during the past ten days. At the beginning is a cartoon I saw in my local newspaper, The Boston Globe. If any of you see appropriate cartoons in your local newspapers, send them to me so that I can include them in future editions.

Let me know either if you want to suggest additional names to add to our list or if you want your name removed.

Sincerely,

Arthur S. Obermayer
