RAMALLAH, West Bank - Yasser Arafat (news - web sites), revered as the champion of Palestinian statehood and reviled as a terrorist, died Thursday at the age of 75, spreading spasms of grief among Palestinians and rekindling calls for new peace talks with Israel.
Here's hoping this will be a catalyst for a positive resolution of the Isreal/Palestine question.
