did not reflect a new concern to inform readers
about a range of Canadian relations with the
countries of the region and Canadian policy with
respect to the central issue of an Arab-Israeli
reconciliation. The press's preoccupation with the
Canadian dimension was principally a product of
highly controversial statements by Prime Minister

she is caught? These are questions that few
members of the general public could answer
quickly. By contrast, almost every citizen can

mean male delinquency, and can even generate some

femininity, dictates that they should choose a
partner of the opposite sex...
