Dear Friend,

Editorials and analyses in American newspapers have covered a broad range of issues related to Israel. Some of the articles present new and interesting points of view.

As usual, let me know either if you want to suggest additional names to add to our list or if you want your name removed.

I wish all of you a happy new year and hope it will lead to a more peaceful world.

Sincerely,

Arthur S. Obermayer
