Dear Friend,

There was so much activity last week related to the Road Map that almost every newspaper had an editorial or op-ed on this subject last Thursday or Friday, and those which were published earlier were somewhat outdated. They are presented in reverse chronological order because there appears to be no better way to categorize them.

Sincerely,

Arthur S. Obermayer
