PRESS From page 1A
solution to the Israeli-Palestin-
ian conflict.
In an August newsletter, the
Michigan chapter of the pro-Isra-
el group Stand With Us attacked
the book and urged members to
contact the University Press and
question its distribution of the
book.
The group described the book
as a "collection of anti-Israel pro-
paganda, misquotes and discred-
ited news stories"and a"rambling
negation of every aspect of Israeli
society."
The University announced in
August that the University Press
would immediately suspend dis-
tribution of the book, stating that
"members of the University com-
munity" had asked "serious ques-
tions" about the book.
In September, the Univer-
sity released a statement saying
distribution of the book would
resume.
Despite having "deep reserva-
tions" about the book, the mem-
bers of the executive board said
that not distributing'"Overcom-
ing Zionism" raised both First
Amendment and censorship con-
terns.
At the same time, the board
said it would reconsider whether
it would renew its existing con-
tract with Pluto when it came up
for review in October.
The American Movement
for Israel, a pro-Israel campus
group, said in a statement that
it was "appalled" by the univer-
sity press's decision to continue
its distribution agreement with
Pluto.
The statement said that it is
unacceptable the University has
chosen to associate itself with
a book "which attacks the very
existence of the State of Israel"
and rejects a two-state solution.
"By distributing a factually
inaccurate and hateful piece of
propaganda, the University of
Michigan has discredited its
reputation and dishonored its
commitment as an honest and
intellectual establishment," the
statement said.
In an open letter to the pub-
lic, author and historian Howard
Zinn criticized the University for
initially withdrawing the book
from distribution.
Writing on behalf of the Com-
mittee for Open Discussion of
Zionism, Zinn said the Universi-
ty's threat to cancel its contract
with Pluto would be a "serious
blow to the principles of plural-
ism, academic freedom and free
speech."
He added that the book is
a "serious, well researched
work" and also a "valu-
able addition to the growing
debate" about the Israeli-Pal-
estinian conflict.
Kovel said the board's deci-
sion to continue the Pluto con-
tract was a "victory" for people
concerned about the state
of democratic debate in our
society. "It's a victory against
the efforts of Stand With Us
Michigan and, more generally,
against the Zionist lobby, to
suppress open debate on ques-
tions of Israel and Palestine,"
Kovel said.
Jonathan Calt Harris, director
of the Michigan chapter of Stand
With Us, could not be reached for
comment last night.

For Tuesday, Sept. 25, 2007
ARIES
(Murch 21to April 19)
You can feel the buildup of tension
with partners and close friends today
because tomorrow's Full Moon is soon
approaching. And it's the only Full
Moon in your sign! (Yikes.)
TAURUS
(April 2010o May 20)
Be patient with co-workers. A buildup
of tension before the peak of a Full
Moon always exists, and today is that
day. Therefore, don't push the river.
Easy does it.
GEMINI
(May 21 to June 20)
You might feel pulled between the
demands of friends and groups versus
the demands of children or a romantic
partner. You can't please everyone.
Therefore, just please yourself
CANCER
(June 21to July 22)
You're caught in the classic dilemma
between home and family versus your
career and your external world. If you
focus on one, the other suffers. (Oh,
well. That's life.)
LEO
(July 23 to Aug. 22)
Today is a mildly accident-prone day
because of the increasing tension build-
ing up before tomorrow's Full Moon. Be
extra aware when driving, walking or
jogging.
VIRGO
(Aug. 23 to Sept. 22)
Today you might feel tension about
shared property, debt, taxes and the
responsibility you have to others.
However, by Friday this will be gone.
Just hang in there.
LIBRA
(Sept. 23 to Oct. 22)
Tomorrow the Full Moon is in Aries,
which is directly opposite your sign.
Today, as that Full Moon builds up,
you'll feel increasing tension dealing
with partners and close friends. Just be
SCORPIO
(Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)
It's perfectly normal if you feel
vaguely restless today. It's the buildup
before tomorrow's Full Moon. After it
peaks, you'll be calm again.
SAGITTARIUS
(Nov. 22to Dec. 21)
Yos can'tplease everyone allsthe time.
Therefore, don't even try. Just handle
things one at atime inthe next few days,
because you're dealing with a Full
Moon. (You know the drill.)
CAPRICORN
(Dec. 22to Jan. 19)
Be patient with family members, par-
ents and bosses today. You feel pulled in
several directions, butlyou only have two
hands and 24 hours. This week gets bet-
ter as it wears on.
AQUARIUS
(Jan. 20 to Feb. 18)
Minor breakages and misunderstand-
ings are possible today because of the
buildup of tension before tomorrow's
Full Moon. Just take it easy and slow
down.
PISCES
(Feb. 19to March 20)
Guard against impulse-buying and
hasty decisions concerning cash flow or
your money scene. Tomorrow's Full
Moon could affect your financial judg-
ment.
YOU BORN TODAY You are warm
and charming with highly developed
social skills. Love and affection are
important to you. However, your success
comes from your ability to apply perse-
vering self-discipline to develop your
potential. (This balances your love of
pleasure and play!) In your later years,
you become surprisingly daring. In the
year ahead, you will learn something
extremely valuable.
