The article focuses on the political development taking place with respect to Palestinians and the United States. In the shadow of an American President with the poise and verbiage of the manager of a McDonald's franchise, Yasir Arafat produced oratory so meager it made Yitzhak Rabin sound like Cicero. Right now, Palestinians get the right to manage the world's largest prison, the Gaza Strip, plus one cow town. Viewing what Arafat calls "the funeral" that took place in Washington was a genial 61-year-old Palestinian named Shafik al-Hout.
