Dear Friend,

In the last issue of American Editorial Review I said, "What a difference a week can make!" Unfortunately, that statement applies again. The violence and counter-violence by both sides have made the encouraging comments about the Road Map almost irrelevant.

Sincerely,

Arthur S. Obermayer
