The question as to whether the distance from Ramallah to Bethlehem is 19 or 20 km has been discussed in USMA 16826, 16832, 16833, 16834, 16852, 16856, and 16871. Last night at 9 p.m. CBC Newsworld said the distance is about 25 km. I have scaled the distance as the crow flies from my Oxford Atlas and found it to be 22.5 km. I think the CBC had the road distance about right.
