March 26,
2004
Dear Friend,
In just a three-day period, over 20 opinion pieces appeared in every newspaper I review about the assassination of Sheik Yassin. They expressed no remorse at his assassination, but uniformly felt that it was a mistake because it is bound to accelerate the spiral of violence and revenge. Included here are the ten I consider best written and most distinctive in order of preference; I especially commend the first one.
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
