Towards a larger understanding of the Mideast crisis: “The newspapers are carrying stories of Egypt’s decision to restore its rule of the Gaza strip. Once more it is apparent that when we deal with people who believe that assurances will be kept, we are successful in getting them to do what we wish. But when we deal with people whose moral values are different, we do not seem to have the strength to impose on them acceptance of the assurances that we have given. Israel seems therefore somewhat apprehensive.” Eleanor Roosevelt, March 18, 1957, world copyright protected.

Dave Beck has called upon the 1,500,000 members of the Teamsters Union to give “moral and financial support” to its beleaguered leaders. In case the rank and file can’t spare both, the latter will presumably do.
