Unacceptable

Ronald Reagan's voice "will soon be heard across the land again," says Duke Blackwood, executive director of the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Foundation. He says a series of 30 nonpolitical segments of Mr. Reagan's many radio commentaries, in which he clarifies his vision for America, will begin airing around the country on April 28.

"Ronald Reagan Speaks for Himself" is aimed at the several generations of Americans who never heard him speak on issues such as the economy, immigration, abortion, terrorism and taxes.

Tough being Israel

King Abdullah II of Jordan, who has arrived in the United States for meetings with President Bush, made this eye-opening observation during a speech to the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs at Princeton University:

"Fifty-seven countries are not at peace with Israel today. Fifty-seven countries out of 193 countries in the world. Fifty-seven countries with a total population greater than Europe and the United States combined.

"Fifty-seven countries, representing one-third of the members of the United Nations."
