JERUSALEM (AP) — Stand
ing 100 yards apart on a busy
highway, two war monuments
overlook the Mount of Olives in
lerusalem. One is inscribed in
[rabic, the other in Hebrew.
For the monuments to the
Jordanians and Israelis who
died in the 1967 battle for
Jerusalem, it’s somehow appro-
iriate, given the contorted rela
tionship between the people of
the two countries. They have
lived and died side by side
rough two wars and countless
Bloody border clashes to reach
their historic peace treaty.
| If Israelis seem blase about
Wednesday’s planned signing
ceremony on the Jordan-Israel
border, it’s because they see it as
|he cherry on a cake that was
baked long ago.
Jordan and Israel stopped
fighting in 1970, and an unde
clared peace has since flourished.
Author Amnon Dankner says
the treaty to be signed in the
desert is like the wedding of a
couple that has lived together
for a long time.
Unlike Egypt and Syria, Jor
dan was often ambivalent, see
ing Israel both as an enemy, and
a buffer against enemies within
the Arab world.
Israel tended to see Jordan as
a potential friend held back by
fear of its militant Arab neigh
bors. King Abdullah was assassi
nated by a Palestinian in 1951.
His grandson Hussein was a fre
quent target of assassins.
Israelis would always prefer
Hussein to any radical, Soviet-
backed militant. They might be
enemies, but both belonged in
the Western camp.
Both sides share the waters
of the River Jordan. So their
water officials would meet in a
tent on the river bank to dis
cuss their problems.
In 1963, Hussein opened a se
cret high-level channel of commu
nication through his private sur
geon in London.
In later years there would be
meetings on boats at sea, or at se
cret desert rendezvous and in for
eign capitals.
Palestinian raids into Israel
from Jordan led to Israeli retali
ation on Jordanian soil.
The cycle of violence led to the
1967 Six-Day War, Jordan en
tered the fighting, and ended up
losing east Jerusalem and the
West Bank.

ISN’T IT NICE WHEN
THE EXPERTS DISCOVER SOMETHING
YOU’VE KNOWN ALL ALONG.
O ver 1.6 million people in education and
research know that choosing TIAA-CREF
was a smart move. And now eveiyone else does
too. Because Morningstar—one of the nation’s
leading sources of variable annuity and mutual
fund information—has some stellar things to say
about our retirement investment accounts.

“This comfortable combination of
risk and return has earned the CREF
Stock Account a five-star rating.”*
After studying CREFs performance history,
Morningstar gave five-stars—its highest rating—
to both the CREF Stock and Bond Market
Accounts, and an impressive four-stars to the
CREF Social Choice Account?* In fact, the
CREF Stock Account was singled out as having
"...one of the best 10-year records among variable
Morningstar also called attention to CREFs
“...rock-bottom” fees—something that can really
add to the size of your nest-egg down the road.
What’s more, TIAA’s traditional annuity—
which offers guaranteed principal and interest
plus the opportunity for dividends—was cited
as having the highest fixed account interest rate
among all annuities in its class.
We’re happy to accept Morningstar’s glowing
ratings. But nice as it is to focus on stars, we’ll
keep focusing on something more down-to-earth:
building the financial future you want and deserve.
