...quell the rebellion, Israel has resorted to a system of secret justice for alleged Palestinian activists, with little recourse for appeal. The cases carry a numbing similarity. Around midnight on Feb. 1, for example, there was a knock at the door of Ezzidine al Aryan's home in the West Bank city of Ramallah. The pharmacist and head of the city's Red Crescent (Arab Red Cross) was at prayer. Aryan, 51, was taken to Jneid prison, where he languished in a cell for nearly three months. One day a judge handed down an order for six months of "administrative...
...Today Aryan is among 28 men who spend searing days and chilly nights in a tent at one of four 200-man compounds in Ansar's Camp B, which constitutes one-third of a canvas village that sprang up on the desert plain three miles from the border with Egypt.

The man has all the ethnicity of Formica." And is there anything that Superman cannot do? Yes, since his superskin is invulnerable, he cannot get a vaccination or a tattoo.

Tom Metzger, a former Klan leader who now heads the White Aryan Resistance, tries to recruit among skinheads. His son John Metzger teaches skinheads how to organize. Says the younger Metzger: "It's not a fad. It's a movement and a reaction against what's going on." Maybe. But more than anything else, the skinheads are a frightening, pathetic reminder that the U.S. has not solved its racial problems -- and that...
