Ralph Begleiter, Edward and Elizabeth Goodman Rosenberg Professor of Communication and Distinguished Journalist in Residence, was quoted in a Feb. 9 News Journal story about the truce declared by Israel and the Palestinians. "The safest thing to do in the Middle East is to predict failure,” Begleiter said. "There's going to be bad news somewhere along the line. But, it's the first time in four years that these guys have agreed not to attack one another. Does it mean peace in the Middle East? Absolutely not. But is there a new optimism? Yes. It's the beginning of something very important and could lead to much more substantive agreements in the future."
