Former aide criticizes Carter over Mideast book - Los Angeles Times

Former aide criticizes Carter over Mideast book - Los Angeles Times: "Stein, who was director of the Carter Center from 1983 to 1986 and had continued to serve as a fellow there, spoke to a crowd of nearly 1,000 Thursday night at Los Angeles' Sinai Temple. His comments came against a backdrop of escalating controversy over the former president's bestselling book 'Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid.'

In the book, Carter traces the stops and starts of the Israeli-Palestinian peace process, beginning with his first visit to Israel in 1973 and continuing to the present, through his 1977-1981 presidency and the historic peace accord he brokered between Israel and Egypt. "
