-I RECEIVED THE RECOMMENDATION THAT I WRITE A BOOK ABOUT THE "INTERNATIONAL DIPLOMATIC WORK...ON A DIRECT BASIS" FOR THE WORLD'S CHILDREN FROM THEN-RECENTLY-ELECTED BRITISH COLUMBIA PREMIER WILLIAM N. VANDER ZALM, EVIDENCED BY WHAT YOU FIND IF YOU TAKE A BRIEF SIDESTEP HERE, AS HIS RESPONSE TO MY SUBMISSION TO HIM DURING THE ELECTION CAMPAIGN PROMPTED BY WHAT YOU FIND IF YOU TAKE A BRIEF SIDESTEP HERE.
I RECEIVED THE RECOMMENDATION THAT I WRITE A BOOK ABOUT THE "INTERNATIONAL DIPLOMATIC WORK...ON A DIRECT BASIS" FOR THE WORLD'S CHILDREN FROM ALAN PATON, THE (NOW LATE) AUTHOR OF THE SECOND MOST POPULAR BOOK IN THE HISTORY OF SOUTH AFRICA (AFTER THE "HOLY BIBLE"), AS HIS RESPONSE TO MY SUBMISSION TO HIM AS EVIDENCED BY WHAT YOU FIND IF YOU TAKE A BRIEF SIDESTEP HERE.
I SUGGEST THAT VISITORS TO MY AWARD-WINNING WEBSITE CONSIDER BOTH LETTERS I RECEIVED FROM THE PATONS: THE ONE BEFORE HIS UNTIMELY DEATH IN 1988--TAKE A BRIEF SIDESTEP HERE.
AND THE FOLLOW-UP LATER THAT YEAR FROM HIS WIFE CLARIFYING PART OF THE "CONTEXT" OF THE EARLIER LETTER CAN BE EVALUATED IF YOU TAKE A BRIEF SIDESTEP HERE.
I EXPLAIN THIS HERE BRIEFLY BECAUSE OF WHAT IS REVEALED IN THE SECOND FOOTNOTE OF WHAT YOU FIND IF YOU TAKE A BRIEF SIDESTEP HERE.
RESPECT MUST BE ACCORDED TO THESE TWO BRAVE PEOPLE.
-I ALSO MET STANLEY SHEINBAUM, THEN-LOS ANGELES POLICE
COMMISSION PRESIDENT AND ONE OF THE AMERICAN JEWISH ACTIVISTS
WHO MET WITH YASSER ARAFAT AND CONVINCED HIM TO ACCEPT
THE UNITED NATIONS RESOLUTIONS ON PALESTINE--LEADING TO THE
CONTINUING ISRAELI-PALESTINIAN PEACE PROCESS ON JUNE 29, 1989 AT
AN EVENT SPONSORED BY THE VANCOUVER GROUP, "JEWS FOR A JUST
PEACE".
I TOLD HIM I DID SOME WORK FOR THE CARTER ADMINISTRATION
TO DO WITH THE MIDDLE EAST AND HAD RECEIVED RECOMMENDATIONS THAT
I WRITE A BOOK ABOUT IT. I SHOWED HIM COPIES OF THIS AND that, AND ALSO , SAYING
STRAIGHT OUT THAT THE CHILDREN INVOLVED IN THE INTIFADA (THEN
VERY TOPICAL) WERE NOT NAIVE LITTLE SCHOOL KIDS.
I TOLD HIM THAT I PROMISED "THE ARAB LEAGUE" I WOULD SEND "THE
ISLAMIC CONFERENCE ORGANIZATION" A COPY OF THE AUGUST, 1986 STATEMENT TO
THEM AND WAS THINKING OF INCLUDING ALSO A COPY OF THE THE MARK GAYN COLUMN ABOUT THE
UPBRINGING OF THE INTIFADA CHILDREN.
HE LOOKED AT THE THINGS AND TOLD ME TO "DO IT."
(...SORRY ABOUT THE QUALITY OF THE SCAN.
IT'S THE BEST I CAN DO UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES, BEING A SCAN OF A 12-YEAR-OLD PHOTOCOPY OF A NEWSPRINT PAGE.
AS THE CONTENTS ABOVE AFFIRM, MR. SHEINBAUM AND I (HAVING BOTH DONE WORK IN PAST ON BEHALF OF POLICE FORCES) WERE OF THE SAME MIND ABOUT WHICH OF THOMAS JEFFERSON'S ROADS IS BETTER FOR "ALL OF US"...)
