Leaving his one-story home in the 150-member Gilgal kibbutz, Jerusalem-born Ami Cohen, 35, carries no weapon and seems oblivious to the border with Jordan, just four miles away. Indeed, the auto mechanic often bicycles around Gilgal dressed in little more than a swimsuit and a smile. He says he feels as safe in the kibbutz as he would anywhere else in Israel. Three years ago, Ami and his wife Chantal, 29, abandoned city life in Jerusalem and, with their three young children, joined the thousands of Jewish settlers in the West Bank...
Though Israel and Jordan are still technically at war, the border has been peaceful for years. Chantal sees Arabs only when she visits Jerusalem, an hour's drive southwest. As a result, despite Gilgal's harsh desert climate, this self-contained commune continues to attract young families like the Cohens. Indeed, many of the amenities of city life -- color television, air conditioning -- are starting to find their way to the kibbutz. When asked how they would feel if, as part of a peace agreement with Jordan, they were forced to leave the place, the couple look bewildered...
Manwaring was schooled in the dogmas of visual rationalism just at the moment when the crude baroque of psychedelia was popping up on posters all over San Francisco. That formative combination may explain why Manwaring still seeks to produce images on the border between the orderly and the wild, at once restrained and mannerist. A wine label for Sonoma County's small Hanna Winery, for example, is no neat, well-behaved rectangle but an asymmetrical ziggurat with type stacked in surprising ways. For a poster meant to express the idea of summer, a fragment of architectural statuary is enclosed within...
Tambs worked through a CIA agent (called Tomas Castillo but identified as Joe Fernandez) in his embassy to get Costa Rica to approve construction of a secret airstrip near the Nicaraguan border and persuade contras to move deeply into Nicaragua. The Ambassador insisted that Abrams "knew just as much as I did" about the southern-front activities. Abrams has denied to congressional committees that he knew of any such details. Fernandez, who was placed on administrative leave by the CIA late last year because of his contra involvement, told the committee in closed testimony that his superiors, including Fiers, knew...
Fittingly enough, last Thursday was Border Guard Day in the Soviet Union, a national celebration that honors the troops protecting the country's sprawling frontiers. Tourists and Muscovites strolling through Red Square that evening looked up to see a small single-engine plane coming in low from the south. It circled the great plaza, barely clearing the red brick walls of the Kremlin and buzzing the Lenin Mausoleum before finally touching down. At about 7:30 p.m. the little craft came to rest on the cobblestones behind onion-domed St. Basil's Cathedral. Bystanders scattered. Police gaped in astonishment. Official...
