...election of a communist government, the resulting U.S. invasion and the rise of English as the official language. Now he prowls the carless, bicycle-clogged streets of Madrid, tracking runaway kids and errant spouses for $100 a day plus expenses. He keeps a bottle of whiskey in his filing cabinet under the letter I, for Indispensable. Into his crummy office one day walks ? ah, but we're getting ahead of the story. Clot is the hard-boiled, hard-drinking hero of Blood on the Saddle, the first novel by Rafael Reig to be translated into English (smoothly, by Paul Hammond...

After doing so, the army found itself undermined when Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz backed down and voted against the destruction of the synagogues in the cabinet last weekend. That's why the synagogues remained standing. Despite the shock and anger registered by Israeli political leaders after the burning of the synagogues, there's a general acknowledgement among Israelis on the street that, after 38 years of occupation, it isn't surprising - even if it's distasteful...
