Photographers would drive down from Tel Aviv to the Gaza Strip and aim their long-range cameras across the line to where Egyptian troops had replaced the U.N. forces. Often as not, they would sight right into the long-range cameras of photographers on the opposite side, shooting the other way. The Middle East is a place where the smallest distances can mark in superable barriers, and the only way to cover the situation is to have...
Zuckerman, a friendly, flop-haired bear of a boy ("Everybody calls me Pinky"), started studying at seven with his violinist father.

Even Bank of Israel economists are charging that the country is "in a state of paralysis." Defending mitun, Sapir points out that his policies have cut the growth of consumer spending by more than half, narrowed the balance of payments deficit by 14% to $450 million. "Had we gone on for three more years as before," he insists, "we would have ended up in a catastrophe...
