...Israelis. Overall, this ideological task is transparent. First comes the staid narration of the fall of Oslo because the Palestinians inexplicably refused the magnanimous “Barak Plan” giving the Palenstinians “90 percent of the West Bank.” Obscured are the actual terms of the plan “inexplicably rejected.” A more accurate picture comes from Barak’s chief negotiator at Camp David, Shlomo Ben-Ami.

Beauty queens are supposedly ultra-caring and beautiful, and I don’t mind hiding behind that facade, even if it isn’t totally accurate. Throughout the trip I met amazing people, all of whom seemed to respond to talk of the tiara. From Miss Tunnicliff, who admired the whiskers finally growing back...
