...federal examiners called the irregularities "unsafe and unsound" banking practices. For failing to disclose them to stockholders, the examiners accused Lance and the banks of "fraud and deceit." Lance and the banks admitted no wrongdoing. Indeed, Lance in the past has blamed part of his troubles on "careless, erroneous or biased reporting" by the press.

But this, like the diplomatic pressure Israel is facing, only seems to polarize the nation further. At the Wailing Wall last week, the ardently nationalist Gush Emunim held a rally and declared the founding of a new Jewish settlement on the West Bank at Karnei Shomron.
