Abstrakt: The article presents some political updates as of September 8, 1997. One of the updates focuses on the weakness of the Oslo peace agreement between Israel and Palestine. The article adds that Western liberals must remember that Oslo was not a tabula rasa and it came after twenty-six years of Israeli military occupation and, before that, nineteen years of Palestinian dispossession. Another update highlights that Kenneth Starr's annual financial disclosure report, filed on August 13, will be released shortly. When critics charged that a partisan conservative has no business directing a criminal probe of U.S. Government, Starr argued that special prosecutors must be truly independent and not interested in currying favor with those in high office.
