Inside This Issue

1 Policy—If the Reagan administration can "stay the course" in the Persian Gulf despite the cacophony of criticism from domestic doubters and Israel-influenced congressmen, it might restore in its last two years some of the overseas credibility it lost in its first six.

2 Editorial—The two men Israeli authorities fear most are Brooklyn-born Rabbi Meir Kahane, who preaches Israeli violence and Jerusalem-born Mubarak Awad, who advocates Palestinian non-violence.

3 Page 65—Facts, not myths, about the 1947 partition of Palestine.

5 Update on Congress—Israel continues to call the tune on Capitol Hill, and US taxpayers still pay the piper for Israeli extravagancies like the Lavi.

7 Trade and Finance—A capulsized overview of Middle East economic activity.
