...Israel's new prime minister, Ehud Barak, has to overcome inflated expectations of his peacemaking abilities. Barak, who was sworn in Tuesday, got off to a fast start, issuing a rousing call for a "peace of the brave" with his Palestinian and other Arab neighbors. And in the clearest signal yet that he plans a substantial land-for-peace trade with Syria, Barak offered a peace agreement based on United Nations resolutions recognizing Syrian sovereignty over the disputed Golan Heights.

Still, cascading is a new fact of life, and it is not likely to end any time soon.

With only two years of high school behind him, and buttressed by an intense auto-didacticism, Farnsworth gained admission to Brigham Young University...
