 Schmemann, Serge. Echoes of a Native Land.
Schmemann's initial efforts to visit the rural village now called Koltsovo, the site of his mother's landowning family's manor and farm, were thwarted during the 1980s, when he was the Moscow bureau chief for the New York Times.
Schmemann parlays his discoveries into an involving and illuminating account not only of his family's deeply affecting history but of three centuries of Russian history.
Unlike Schmemann, Taplin was a complete outsider when he arrived in Moscow in 1984 to fill a diplomatic post, but he, too, was frustrated by the Soviets' inflexible travel policies.

 CAMERA Media Report
Schmemann reversed the president's words which were, in fact, a stern warning that the PA make clear it is "unalterably opposed to terror." CAMERA formally called for a published correction of this error.
Schmemann whom you maligned as pro-Palestinian was on the scene of the two recent bombings in Jerusalem and his accounts were heart-rending.
In fact, it has been a pattern in Schmemann's coverage of terrorist attacks to shift quickly from the Jewish victims and to focus instead on what is presented as a heavy-handed Israeli government response — closures of PA territories, pressure on Arafat to move against the terrorists, withholding of further concessions to the Palestinians.

 Tufts-Fletcher-News: Schmemann   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
Serge Schmemann, Deputy Foreign Editor of The New York Times and Pulitzer Prize winner, gave a talk on the current state of Israeli-Palestinian relations to a full auditorium at the Fletcher School on Wednesday October 2.
Mr Schmemann said he was constantly questioned about perceived disparity in reporting and was confronted with the view that sometimes journalists misrepresented the score — that they gave one side a moral advantage over another.
Mr Schmemann’s talk was followed by respondents from the Fletcher School and Tufts University including Professors Leila Fawaz, Director of Tufts' Center for Eastern Mediterranean Studies, Malik Mufti of Tufts' Political Science Department, and Marc Gopin of the Fletcher School.

 Online NewsHour: Restricting Arafat -- March 26, 2002
SERGE SCHMEMANN: Well, in this part of the world, everything is a firm decision, and they often change, so you can never trust this being the last words, but the day's events basically were that Sharon set fairly stringent conditions on Arafat's trip.
SERGE SCHMEMANN: Yes, speaking to one of the newspapers here, he said he regretted that he had given a pledge to President Bush that he would not harm Arafat.
SERGE SCHMEMANN: Well, this certainly is one of the problems that both Vice President Cheney and General Zinni have confronted.

 ZNet Commentary
Schmemann does not mention that the World Bank gave massive loans to Indonesia for decades although perfectly aware of very extensive corruption, and that the Bank only began to question that corruption with the collapse of the Suharto dictatorship.
If Serge Schmemann failed to mention it or anything similar, perhaps this is because the model implies that corruption flows from Western choices, which conflicts with the ideological premise that the West is good and would by definition oppose corruption.
And while the chickens of corruption coming home to roost may create a puzzle for Serge Schmemann and others, they are familiar chickens that have a simple explanation: they are the acceptable costs of a shakedown state that has done its job well.

What Schmemann neglects to mention is that Arabs in Hebron were throwing stones and cement blocks down on the mourners at the funeral before the Israelis shot in the air in self-defense.
Schmemann adds weight to a baseless accusation by implying that it is logical that Jews set the bomb.
Schmemann neglects to describe the almost daily sniper fire directed at the Jews of Hebron from the surrounding hills controlled by Arafat’s Arabs, who have killed many Jewish men, women and children.

In fact, contrary to Schmemann's claim, a number of senior PA officials and the Palestinian Legislative Council did charge Israel with killing Sharif.
There must be absolutely no doubt in the minds of the friends or the enemies of peace that the Palestinian Authority is unalterably opposed to terror and unalterably committed to preempting and preventing such acts.
Buried within the story — written by Joel Greenberg, not Serge Schmemann — was tepid acknowledgment, finally, that PA officials had indeed blamed Israel in the slaying:
