Banned Book Week sparked by librarian leaders
Distelhorst, executive director of the National Association of College Stores in Oberlin, champions Banned Book Week as a push to oppose censorship amid rising book bans. He cites the American Library Association and others, notes liberals also censor, and stresses education to defend access to controversial works like Mein Kampf and Creation science within context. The piece discusses school boards, First Amendment issues, and landmark court cases including Island Trees.

Egypt backs parts of Reagan peace plan
Egypt announced it supports the positive aspects of President Reagan's Middle East peace initiative, the first Arab state to endorse parts of the plan. Cairo said it will study the proposal, press for a comprehensive settlement, and work with the United States and concerned parties to maintain momentum toward peace, while noting Israeli withdrawal and a Palestinian state were not demanded. Crowned by remarks from Arafat, Sharon, and Begin, the region remained divided over the plan as Tunisia prepared for a Fez summit.
