...miles long, zigzagging deep into Palestinian territory. But for graffiti artists, all that bare concrete is too great a temptation to resist. Just as Yosemite's El Capitan beckons the bravest of rock climbers, Israel's wall has become the ultimate challenge for members of the global street-art subculture. Banksy, the British guerrilla artist, has already sprayed the wall with a few of his ironic creations (my favorite: a little girl in a pink frock frisking an armed soldier).

Enriched by the core, we can now answer questions like, “Are numbers magical? Is this art and/or literature I’m encountering an A, B or C? What would this look like as a Japanese woodblock print?” No, we can’t figure out that tip, but we can detect it medically. Are those dinosaurs attacking our city? Let?...
