1992 BRAVADA WAS $26,845 NOW ONLY tions," said Mr. Quandt. "They've had enough ex- citement, in terms of Ameri- can-Israeli relations, to last them a while." "Therefore," said Mr. Quandt, "this is not the time for them to unveil any grand new proposals. They've gotten the word that more piling on against Shamir could create a sympathy backlash in Israeli voting. It's no secret that they would just as soon that didn't happen." With no American intervention, it is improb- able that the current stalemate will be broken. American politics figure into the peace talks equa- tion, as well. "Until we get a better sense of how close the November election may be — and how important the Jewish vote may be to Bush's reelection — it is unlikely they will take any chances during the peace negotiations," said a leading pro-Israel activist here. Also, the Bush administra- tion's preoccupation with foreign affairs has helped foster the electorate's nasty mood. As the election draws closer, the White House is not eager to focus new atten- tion on the traditional dominance of foreign affairs in the Bush administration agenda by taking any bold new steps in the peace pro- cess. And anyway, the ad- ministration is convinced that political factors aside, the time has not yet come for a more active American role. "All parties understand that this country will more actively intervene when the parties cannot go on alone," said Shimon Shamir, a former Israeli ambassador to Egypt now at the U.S. Peace Institute. "But it's my im- pression that the ad- ministration feels that the parties have not fully ex- plored all the possibilities." So what function will next week's round of peace talks serve? "The issue is whether it is useful to convene another round of talks before the elections in Israel since it's clear that the Israeli side finds it very difficult to move ahead during a very dy- namic election campaign," said Mr. Shamir. Mr. Shamir stressed the importance of "the continui- ty of the talks. Even if there are no immediate results, it is important to keep the framework and the dy- framework and the dynamics of the process going." $19,988* Fully Loaded Great Selection REMODELING MAGAZINE AWARDS QUALITY CONSTRUCTION FOR IT'S EXCELLENCE IN DESIGN & CONSTRUCTION 1992 ACHIEVA WAS $15,875 NOW $11,988` LOADED 80 TO CHOOSE FROM 'Sale price plus!, license, freight.
