Where Hamer had told him Jesus was born, there'd been a dead tree--a bare black snag above the cave. Judas had gripped it, even then, and chinned himself once; it was still firmly anchored. So just as the sun broke free of the hills and swept the fringes of Bethlehem, Judas Iscariot reached the tree again...
...politics Rockwell was a liberal, which could be guessed from the understated plea for tolerance that so many of his pictures make.

But do they add up to the terrible possibility that one of the pilots deliberately sent the plane into its death dive, committing an unspeakable act of self-destruction and mass murder...
