Diplomats say that in the last several months Israel has seized at least 7,500 acres of formerly Arab land in the West Bank and begun legal prepara- tions to take another 10,000 acres.

And many Palestinians stopped regular cultivation of their land years ago, when they were offered higher paying jobs in Israel. Now Isrãel has seized much of that land, giving the state possession of more than half the territory in the West Bank. At the same time, tens of thou- sands of Palestinians are being dis- missed from their jobs in Israel after a spate of stabbings of Jews by Arabs from the occupied territories. Much of the seized land is used for settlements. Shimon Peres, leader of the opposi- tion Labor Party, gave one of the few contrary views today, saying: "From my point of view, the new settlements are not necessary, and I'm sorry that every time he came here a new settle- ment was set up." He called for a freeze in new settle- ments.

NEWS UPDATE IRAQI UNREST (Nicosia/AP) -- Reporters and U.N. officials in southern Iraq have seen no evidence this week of any impending military crackdown on Shiite Moslems. But Iran insisted again that Baghdad is preparing such a move. Reporters who drove the Baghdad- Basra highway near the Iranian border on Monday and Tuesday saw no unusual military activity in the marsh regions and no flights of Iraqi helicopters or aircraft. In addition, they did not hear the sound of artillery or any other explosives Monday evening through Tuesday morning in Basra or along the road. (Cairo/UPI) -- Saddam Hussein has ordered mass executions of Iraqi Shiites amid reports of more military attacks against Shiites trapped in marshes near the Iranian border, a German diplomat and a Shiite opposition source in Damascus said. "We have received reports of mass executions of Shiites by the Iraqi army, " a German envoy in the Mideast told UPI. "The reports said Iraqi troops were attacking Shiite strongholds along the Iraqi-Iranian border." A Shiite opposition source did not rule out Iranian intervention to defend the Shiites from extermination. "It seems that the Iranians are preparing the ground for possible intervention in southern Iraq by exaggerating the military operations against the Shiites, benefitting from the internal, unstable situation in Iraq," the Shiite source said. (Nicosia/AP) -- The U.N. is prepared if necessary to set up camps for Shiite Moslems in southern Iraq, like those created for Kurdish refugees in the north, the U.N. secretary-general said. Meanwhile, Iraq moved to try to repair ties with Turkey. Deputy Prime Minister Aziz, on his first postwar visit, arrived in Turkey. He was expected to seek Turkey's help in lifting international trade sanctions. Perez de Cuellar said U.S. relief efforts in Iraq were being crippled by a shortage of funds.

I say this to you as a World War II veteran -- as an American -- and as President of the United States. We must never- forget. We must never deny. The haunting images compel us to guard against tyranny and inhumanity. Remembering makes us strong. And remembering makes us act. But we must also remember something more powerful than the 2 horror -- the triumph of the inextinguishable human spirit. Those who survived the Holocaust could have sunk into hate and revenge. What world would have blamed them? But, instead, they lifted themselves -- and all of humanity -- toward a greater goal. I believe that the ultimate lesson here is the transcendent glory of survival. Hope triumphed over horror. Life triumphed over death. Holocaust video Elie Wiesel dedicated his life to Holocaust victims because "anyone who does not remember betrays them again.' These must Kabboper become our days of remembrance. This freedom we enjoy carries a terrible responsibility. The genocide of WWII is over, but the victims of other human rights abuse call to us daily from across Jews MM the globe. In the memory of the 6 million who died -- we must not close our eyes. We must not block our ears. We must not hold our tongues. Holocaust survivors lead our way. When Saddam Hussein unleashed his evil against the Kurds, Simon Wiesenthal was among MM the first to speak out. He said: "Silence is admittance. "We cannot tolerate silence."

What a story -- those men and women creating out of scraps this symbol of the values that gave them hope. Just think -- those values were the ones this country was founded on -- ones we too often take for granted. I wish every American could hear this story, could see this flag. The values those courageous Jewish victims saw symbolized in our flag became the ones on which they founded their new home- land. These shared values unite our country and Israel in an ex- traordinary kinship. Values like: Freedom. Democracy. Morality. Respect. Deeply rooted traditions of tolerance. Individual rights and liberties. Our countries have forged an unprecedented bond - 4 - a bond of shared ideals, shared struggles, shared commitments. Tonight, I want to return to those essential, basic values and pledge America's eternal vigilance for justice, peace, and human rights throughout the world. As your President, I say: There is no room in our America for indifference. The. Holocaust must never be dehumanized, dismissed, or forgotten. We pledge to preserve forever its memory. There is no room in our America for evil. We must search out and expose every last Nazi fugitive or war criminal hiding in the shadows. We pledge to bring them to justice. There is no room in this country for hate crimes. We must raise our voices and the full force of our law against every hate group, desecrater and demagogue, brown shirt or white sheet. We pledge not to be fooled by a change in disquise -- corruption and inhumanity still lie buried in their hearts. There is no room in our America for bigotry. We must stand firm against ignorance, racism and discrimination in any form and any place -- in our cities, in our music, in our media, in our minds, in our hearts. And in subtly subversive quota bills. We pledge to point the finger of shame wherever the hatred of bigotry festers -- and to rid our land of it for our children. There is no room in our America -- and our world -- for anti-semitism. The insidious ugliness of this cancer destroys the human spirit. We pledge to root it out and conquer it wherever it may start to grow. There is no room in our world for persecution of a people. 5 We must assure that security of Jewish opportunity and identity is a reality. We pledge to give our hearts and aid to helping Jewish people in despair wherever they may be. There is no room in our world for persecution of a nation. Israel's survival must be guaranteed. We pledge our unwavering support for her and for our joint goal of just and lasting peace. There is no room in our world for religious intolerance. We will continue to press the human rights agenda until every. oppression of Soviet Jewry has been erased. We pledge never to give up hope -- and never to cease to work for their freedom. Above all, we must each of us embody in our lives the lesson of this center -- the lesson so brilliantly expressed by its. wiesenthal black hero, Simon Wiesenthal who reminds us: "Freedom is not a gift from Heaven. One must fight for it every day." " That, my friends, is our final -- and most important -- pledge. Thank you for the privilege of sharing this evening with you -- and for the warmth of your friendship. May God Bless us all. #.... Arnold ?? PrTUS nicknames fortain.

The eternal Protest against idolatry and cruelty: Standing on Mt. Carmel arrayed against the Priests of Baal, he alone calls out for the belief in Ethical Monotheism: "How long will you keep hopping between two positions? If the Lord is God, follow Him, and if Baal follow him!" [I Kings 18:21] 2.) The symbol of the eternal covenant between the Jewish People and God: Thus Elijah "The Angel of the Covenant" [Malachi 3:1] is "present" at every circumcision of a Jewish boy who is first placed on Elijah's chair. 3.) Sensitivity to the Divine Word: Elijah, the last surviving prophet - all others killed by the false prophets of Baal - is called out from the cave where he is hiding "to stand on the mountain before the Lord" - "and lo, the Lord passed by. There was a great and mighty wind, splitting mountains and shattering rocks by the power of the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind. After the wind - an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake. After the earthquake - fire; but the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire - a still, small voice." The Divine Word is in the "still, small voice." (I Kings 19:11-12) 4.) The herald of future redemption: It is Elijah's cup placed at the center of the Seder table on Passover eve which promises the future redemption of Israel and of all human kind, and the ultimate resolution of our fragmented existence: Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord: and he shall turn the heart of the parents to the children, and the heart of the children to their parents [Malachi 3: 23-4) Services of Mead Data Central, Inc.

All Rights Reserved; Time February 29, 1988, U.S. Edition SECTION: NATION; Pg. 38 LENGTH: 1634 words HEADLINE: Same Substance, Different Style; For Republicans, the real issue is temperament and personality BYLINE: By Margaret B. Carlson. Reported by David Beckwith and Alessandra Stanley/Manchester BODY: They should certainly not be invited to the same dinner party. Even the Senate chamber is a bit confined for George Bush and Robert Dole. For that matter, the entire country sometimes seems too small a place to absorb the personal antagonisms of the two front runners for the Republican presidential nomination. Theirs is hardly a tension born of ideological differences. On substance, Bush and Dole differ 50 little that in debates they seem like two wrestlers faking it for the crowd. If Dole gets exercised when Bush charges that he would raise taxes, it is precisely because he knows their views on taxes are nearly identical. Both are pragmatic conservatives, men molded by political realities rather than burning convictions. But the similarity in outlook only heightens the deep differences in personality and style. In manner, temperament, perspective on life -- that amorphous bundle of characteristics that define a person -- Bush and Dole are like aliens from separate planets despite years traveling in the same orbit. It is no accident that the two sit at opposite ends of any platform; any closer, and the friction could set the place on fire. When Bush lapses into his gee-whiz optimism, that rosy outlook that comes from having everything dropped into his lap, Dole looks as if he wants to stuff a sock into Bush's mouth. When Dole makes one of his sardonic asides that let observers know he is above the low company he is temporarily keeping, Bush appears so offended by the impropriety of it all -- no one made sharp remarks at the Bush family dinner table -- that he is momentarily speechless. Bush and Dole have reached the very pinnacle of Republican politics by vastly different paths. Bush's road was smooth and privileged, Dole's unrelentingly difficult. While Bush was being chauffeured to Greenwich Country Day School and going off to Andover and Yale, Dole was walking to the public schools of Russell, Kans., and working his way through the University of Kansas at Lawrence and Washburn University of Topeka. As Bush went to prove his manhood in a West Texas oil field with a family stake of $500,000, Dole was serving as county attorney of Russell, where an unhappy part of his job was approving welfare payments to his grandparents. Bush has seldom been without a safety net. When he gave up his congressional seat in 1970 in an unsuccessful bid for the Senate, Nixon made him U.N. LEXIS'NEXIS'LEXIS'NEXIS Services of Mead Data Central, Inc. PAGE 6 (c) 1988 Time Inc., Time, February 29, 1988 Ambassador. Other appointments followed: the Republican National Committee in 1973, liaison to China in 1974 and director of the CIA in 1976. In fact, it was Dole who had to move aside as chairman of the Republican National Committee in 1973 to make room for Bush. Even heroism came to the Vice President at less of a price. Bush received the Distinguished Flying Cross after being shot down during World War II. A harrowing experience to be sure, but he was soon rescued and left the service with no disabling wounds. Dole too was decorated in World War II, but the war left him crippled. He spent three years in hellish convalescence, moving from one hospital to another, without therapy for so long that the injury to his right arm became a disfiguring handicap. Little wonder, then, that Dole has a dark side and that Bush, with his perky optimism, tends to bring it out. Dole has tried to suppress his brooding bitterness following his hatchet-man performance as the vice-presidential Republican candidate in the 1976 campaign. Since then, he has gone through two political make-overs designed to improve his body language and soften his style. Dole's hard knocks have in some ways made him more appealing. Unlike Bush, he has a forceful personality, an appearance of calm that inspires confidence. Dole's sense of humor can be savage, sarcastic and sardonic. Sometimes, when he has it under control, he can direct it gently at himself. At other times it merges with his mean streak. Dole's gregarious public persona does not have a private counterpart. Humor comes from the head, the ability to form attachments with people from the heart. Dole seems to trust no one entirely, least of all his staff. Staffers complain that he seldom takes their advice and they frequently do not know what he is doing. He fires aides abruptly and often. One former aide describes Dole's management technique as peppering staffers with numerous questions until they cannot come up with a reasonable answer, then giving them a withering stare. He expects his staff to keep his own punishing 14-hour-a-day, six-day workweek. Building staff morale seems to be for sissies. Says another former aide: "You don't go to his house to have Thanksgiving dinner or watch football on television." In contrast, Bush has solicited and taken advice from virtually the same team for seven years. He stays in touch with most of the politicos he's met and worked with. Unlike many politicians, Bush actually cultivates close personal friendships. He spends much time writing notes and making phone calls. He is, in a word, nice. Dole's family seems to be an adjunct to his driving ambition. He left his first wife one day without any explanation. His second marriage, to Elizabeth Hanford, a Democrat turned Republican from North Carolina who was serving as a member of the Federal Trade Commission, seems more like a merger. He is curiously distant from his only child Robin, a daughter from his first marriage; when he arrives at a podium, he will give his wife a kiss and his daughter a handshake. Dole and his second wife, who have no children, live in his former bachelor apartment at the Watergate. They rarely have time for dinner together, and when they do it tends to be a microwaved frozen meal. LEXIS'NEXIS LEXIS'NEXIS Services of Mead Data Central, Inc. PAGE 7 (c) 1988 Time Inc., Time, February 29, 1988 The tightly knit Bush family, on the other hand, is clearly a source of joy and strength to the Vice President. When the three generations gather at their summer home in Maine, they spill off the veranda like an all-American tableau. Barbara Bush, mother of five, grandmother of ten, helpmate of 43 years, has the expectant look of a First Lady in training, holding the Nancy Reagan gaze before there was a Nancy Reagan gaze. The only question that seemed to stump Dole on a recent Sunday talk show was what he did in his spare time. The Senator finally listed reading newspapers and magazines, and watching TV news shows. Almost as an afterthought, he added having dinner with his wife. When the Doles travel to their Florida apartment, they socialize little and participate in few activities other than tanning by themselves. When Bush and his wife go to Florida to visit their son, they see old friends and political leaders. Bush likes to pursue his hobbies, which tend to be of the upper-class sort, such as sailing boats and fishing with flies. Dole charges, with some justification, that Bush tries to look decisive but that in his years as Vice President he has made only one real decision: to support Reagan on every issue. Dole, on the other hand, has been a forceful and decisive legislative activist, taking risks when necessary but also knowing when to compromise. Dole's main challenge now, as it has been for years, is to keep his dark side under control. Aides joke about his demeanor. Playing off Doonesbury's conceit that George Bush has an invisible "evil twin" Skippy, Dole staffers joke that their candidate has an invisible "happy" twin. Even after Dole knew he had won Iowa, he was slow to celebrate. When he finally accepted his victory, breaking into a genuine smile, Iowa voters must have got a special lift, having made this sad man happy for a moment. Before the week was out, the happy twin had again disappeared. Speaking at the University of New Hampshire, Dole humiliated a student who was asking him about South African sanctions. There's also little sign that Dole can be gracious in defeat. As he sat watching those red-white-and-blue hats piling up on the NBC delegate tote board last Tuesday night, he could not resist snapping at the Vice President for "lying." Bush faces a far different challenge: overcoming the impression that he has never been truly tested, that he knows little about the earthy struggles of daily living and that he has been sheltered from life's hard knocks. Where Dole projects a brooding quality, Bush sometimes exudes a disconcerting shallowness. He is almost stunningly incapable of expressing himself emotionally. Walking through Auschwitz last fall, he made jarring comments like "Boy, they were big on crematoriums, weren't they?" But Bush's problem seems to be less a lack of feeling than a well-bred inability to effectively express it. In the latest version of his stump speech, Bush says his failure to articulate his emotions does not mean he lacks deep passion. When it comes to family and friends, Bush's loyalties run deep. But in a broader sense his passions do seem to lack resonance, partly because his life has been 50 soft compared with Dole's. The campaign is not likely to become any less intense. For Dole at 64 and Bush at 63, this may be the last chance to run for the office they 50 desperately want. Having overcome all the adversities life has thrown at him, LEXIS'NEXIS'LEXIS'NEXIS Services of Mead Data Central, Inc. PAGE 8 (c) 1988 Time Inc., Time, February 29, 1988 Dole sees the presidency as one more challenge to conquer so as to make the pain go away. Bush, for his part, sees a President every time he looks in the mirror, and has ever since he was a schoolboy. Campaigns, according to the civics texts and good-government groups, are supposed to be about issues and ideas, ideology and vision. Focusing on personality and manner is trivial. Yet this year, the fight for the Republican nomination involves something far more important than artificial differences on oil-import fees or taxes. It is a struggle between styles and temperaments that go to the heart of the kind of President each would be.

Copyright (c) 1988 The Washington Post November 4, 1988, Friday, Final Edition SECTION: FIRST SECTION; PAGE A21 LENGTH: 839 words HEADLINE: GOP Strategist 'Carpet-Bombs' Buckeye State BYLINE: Paul Taylor, Washington Post Staff Writer DATELINE: COLUMBUS, Ohio, Nov. 3, 1988 BODY: Jim Nathanson is the pushpin king of the 1988 presidential campaign. It's a curious little title, but it tells volumes about a plan Republicans have executed this fall to turn Ohio into a moat around the electoral college. Nathanson, a college professor turned political operative, manages the campaign of Republican presidential nominee George Bush in this state. His prized possession sits on the wall beside his desk: a map of Ohio, riddled with pushpins. The 18 blue ones are for the stops Bush has made in the Buckeye State since the Republican National Convention ended Aug. 20. The 23 red ones -- mostly in smaller cities -- are for GOP vice presidential nominee Dan Quayle's Ohio visits since the convention. There are 10 pink pins for Marilyn Quayle; five cloudy white ones for Barbara Bush; 25 yellow ones for other members of the Bush family; 35 green ones for Cabinet-level surrogates; and four clear white ones for President Reagan. That adds up to 120 pushpins, and that's what Nathanson calls "carpet-bombing." No other state has gotten as much attention this fall. Nathanson is the envy of his fellow Bush state directors, and the scourge of Ohio Democrats. "It's like an assault; they just keep coming at you," said Paul Bograd, the Ohio coordinator for Democratic presidential nominee Michael S. Dukakis. Bograd estimates that the number of pushpins on his map, if he kept one, would be about 20. "I must say I have nothing but admiration for what they have done here," said the Ohio Democratic chairman, James Ruvolo. Why such a Republican fixation on Ohio? "We figured early on that if we carried this state," Nathanson said, "there was no way on God's green earth that Michael Dukakis is president." Bush strategists at national headquarters calculated from early summer that, with their southern and mountain-western base, they needed to win only three of the "Big Eight" potential battleground states -- California, New York, Illinois, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Ohio, New Jersey and Texas -- to nail down 270 electoral college votes. Voting history and political demographics indicated that the safest three were Ohio, Texas and New Jesey, but of those three, Ohio had the LEXIS'NEXIS'LEXIS'NEXIS Services of Mead Data Central, Inc. PAGE 3 (c) 1988 The Washington Post, November 4, 1988 most potential to be competitive. So no resource has been spared here. The state party is sending 4 million pieces of mail in the last two weeks of the campaign. Jews in Ohio will get a glossy brochure with pictures of Bush at the Wailing Wall and Auschwitz. Catholics of Eastern European extraction will get one with pictures of him with Pope John Paul II and with Solidarity leader Lech Walesa. Senior citizens already have received a brochure with a sinister-looking picture of Dukakis on the cover. "Are Your Social Security Benefits Safe With This Man?" the flyer asks. Inside, it states that Dukakis diverted $ 29 million from the Massachusetts pension fund to help pay state bills. The Bush campaign will have made 1.5 million phone contacts by this weekend. Then there is the battle of the airways. Precise figures are not available, but the Bush campaign is expected to spend between $ 1 million and $ 1.5 million on the Ohio media market (in addition to their national network buys) over the final month. The Dukakis campaign will spend less than a third of that. "If this was a boxing match, it would have already been called," said state GOP executive director Brian Berry. Dukakis campaigned in the state Tuesday, but it was his first visit in two weeks. Ever since he bypassed Sen. John Glenn (D-Ohio) in his vice presidential selection, he's gotten nothing but flak from state Democrats about the way he's run his campaign here. Still, Dukakis has not abandoned Ohio. "I jokingly told Dukakis that I either wanted Glenn [on the ticket] or a million bucks," Ruvolo said. "I've got the million." Much of the money will go to Democratic street efforts, to pay for storefront and local organizers. They hope it will make a difference next Tuesday. But the state seems well beyond the reach of a good get-out-the-vote effort. Sources in both camps said their latest overnight tracking polls show Bush is ahead here by a dozen points. Once that margin started to build in mid-October, the Bush high command in Washington may have entertained thoughts of shifting its focus elsewhere. "I had a Bush bus trip from Mansfield to Upper Sandusky that got canceled on me in late October," Nathanson said, pointing with mock bitterness to one patch of his map not covered with blue pins. But that turned out to be an aberration; Bush headquarters has kept the fortress-Ohio plan in place. "My theory is that it doesn't matter if you win 270 electoral votes [needed to win] or 400," said a senior strategist. "He still gets to raise his right hand on Jan. 20." So today, Bush could have been in Pennsylvania or New York, states where polls say the race is much more competitive. Instead, he was here, his fifth visit to Columbus since Aug. 20. Bush flew out of the state before noon, but he'll be back. Tomorrow. TYPE: NATIONAL NEWS LEXIS'NEXIS'LEXIS NEXIS Services of Mead Data Central, Inc.
