...bombing squarely on Arafat, who has lately made vigilance against Islamist militants a low priority. Within hours of the blast, Netanyahu responded with a program of unprecedentedly tough retaliatory measures. These amounted, in Arafat's view, to "a declaration of war," a characterization Netanyahu didn't even bother to dispute. "You can't have peace," he declared, "when people are blown to smithereens...

Specialization--attending to one thing at a time, and for as long a time as will insure thoroughness--is obviously desirable and it is not a modern invention.

[Specialism reduces] every art and mode of though to a preoccupation with the details of its making...
