Edition #59-7/2005
August 24, 2005

Dear Friend,

During the past ten days, there have been so many editorials (71!) that I have had difficulty reading all of them and culling out the best for American Editorial Review. Because of the large quantity, this issue is sooner than usual and includes only those articles I consider particularly noteworthy. All of them relate to the Gaza pullout. I have only separated those that deal with Gaza's future economic and political viability.

Sincerely,

Arthur S. Obermayer
