...It’s Oh So Quiet.” This time the title aptly reflected the content of the dance—the first 30 seconds of the two minute piece the choreographer/soloist spent sitting still and rigid on a chair.

Mohammed, his face a blank silhouette, was the jack of spades, No. 9 on the list. Two days later, an Israeli Apache helicopter gunship located Mohammed's walkie-talkie as he sat in a car about 100 yards from where I had met him. "It was his one hobby, to swim," Mohammed's brother later told me. "His fate was to die by the sea." The helicopter launched at least three Hellfire missiles...
