NPR's Linda Gradstein reports on dwindling support for Palestinian President Yasser Arafat. For nearly thirty years, Arafat was the undisputed leader of the Palestinian people, and when he signed the peace deal with Israel that gave Palestinians control over parts of the West Bank and Gaza, many thought their lives would improve. They're still waiting. A four-month-old Israeli closure of the West Bank and Gaza has severely curtailed economic activity there.
