Although technically he works for Genmar, Kirila figures that at some point his company, now called VEC Technology Inc., will go public. For the present he has a mandate to spread the gospel of digital manufacturing and fund start-up companies that aim, as he puts it, "to raise the clock speed of manufacturing culture." Jacobs is planning to do what Kirila originally intended: to lease the patented VEC system in the same way that Pitney Bowes used to lease stamp machines.

...city man (Behzad Dourani) comes to an isolated mountain village in Iranian Kurdistan. Why is he there? That is one unsolved mystery in this minimalist spellbinder. But suspense isn't Kiarostami's aim. He is after ordinary rapture, the gentle collision of distant cultures: a schoolboy, Farzad, who befriends the intruder; a girl reciting poetry as she milks a cow in a dark cellar.

Twelve years ago, when Ross started working for Bush, Arafat was persona non grata to the U.S., a man whose sworn aim was to destroy Israel. Over the years, much of the progress was made by the parties themselves. The Oslo accords, reached in 1993 by Israel and the Palestinians, were achieved without the help of the U.S. But at key moments, especially in the past six months, the U.S. has brought agreement where none could be found by the sides alone. Every President and Secretary of State...
