Edition #29/8-2003
May 30, 2003

Dear Friend,

What a difference a week can make! The last issue of American Editorial Review was two weeks ago, and in the first week since then, most of the editorials had titles like, "Don't Let the Bombers Win", The Terrorists' Veto", "Deadly Bumps in the Road Map", and "Saboteurs of Peace". These articles are no longer at the cutting edge, and therefore are not included. Because the terrorists did not get their way, the editorials during the past week comment on the significant movement that has taken place along the Road Map.

Sincerely,

Arthur S. Obermayer
