Bernard Kalb, State Department television news correspondent for NBC, well-known for his coverage of former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger’s “shuttle diplomacy,” lectured in the Chapel on “Israel and the Middle-East: New Approaches to an Old Dilemma.” Kalb said the “question is central,” reported Bonnie Stollowicz ’84, in The Miscellany News, “At present, 700,000 Palestinians and 25,000 Israelis live on the West Bank. Kalb used these figures to make the point that the West Bank conflict in a ‘question chiseled in the conscience of the Israelis.’”
