...Aristotle, who, as you say, couldn't have conceived of the Hubble Space Telescope? Why? Perhaps we are governed by some extracelestial bodies that have a different time concept. Maybe for them 1,000 Earth years make up only one year or even a mere day. JOSEPH KON Tel Aviv...
...closely with intelligence agencies here and abroad, are scouring all incoming reports about a possible Iran connection. Of interest are the recent movements by an alleged Hizballah terrorist named Hussein Mikdad, who is purportedly backed by Iran. On April 4, Mikdad took a Swissair flight from Zurich to Tel Aviv with bomb parts hidden in a carry-on bag. Eight days later, Mikdad blew off both his legs and one arm when a bomb he was assembling in an east Jerusalem hotel room accidentally detonated.

He acknowledges that individual planes have their quirks, but N93119, which he has flown about 60 times during the past...
...most poignant moments during my stay in Israel came during an afternoon on Tel Aviv beach. Walking up the beach towards my family I saw a group of Israeli toddlers building a sand castle with a colorful bucket and spade. Looking on protectively from a short distance was a much older man, likely a grandfather. On closer inspection I noticed upon the man's left arm the six tattooed digits which mark survivors of the Auschwitz concentration camp. I marveled at the juxtaposition of such stark contrasts which is so characteristic of the modern Israeli state. Could this man ever...
