Dear Friend,

I was on vacation in Mexico for twelve days, so there was a delay in preparing American Editorial Review. Even with attention focused on Iraq, there have been some important Israel-related reports in American newspapers.

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.

Sincerely,

Arthur S. Obermayer
