...attack itself began around nine o'clock with Hizballah's traditional cross-border tactic - rockets and mortars launched from southern Lebanon began raining down on northern Israel. Then, in the ensuing chaos, a number of Hizballah foot soldiers crossed the border and ambushed a two-vehicle Israeli military patrol, killing three of the soldiers and dragging two others back into Lebanon. The attack was clearly planned in advance. The militants struck at a spot obscured from a nearby watchtower, and when a tank pursued them across the border soon after, explosives planted in the ground destroyed it. The four soldiers...
...Allyson's first starring role was as Navy man Robert Walker's bride in The Sailor Takes a Wife. Walker had been all dewy moonlight as a soldier courting Garland the year before in The Clock, to which this film is an uneasy sequel, but now he learns the price of romantic impulse. The newlyweds, holed up in an improbably palatial Greenwich Village apartment (at MGM, even squalor was laid out on the grand scale), are so ill-matched, the happy ending is either a reversal or a strenuous act of Hollywood's wishful thinking.

From the ethereal melodies to the beats layered upon beats, The Eraser is full of Radiohead music--dark, dystopian, oddly beautiful--minus the other members of Radiohead.

It differs from Deism, the "divine clockmaker" theology of Enlightenment thinkers like Thomas Jefferson, in that many Deists think God signed off once the clock was wound. Collins, on the other hand, thinks the whole point was for God to create a being with whom he could develop an ongoing relationship through prayer, Scripture and what the scientist cheerfully acknowledges as a scientifically inexplicable "divine invasion of the natural world" in the saving person...
...Instead, the family locked itself indoors and set up a round-the-clock watch at the front gate. When the black Opel returned to the neighborhood one evening, Omar's older brother Mohammed chased after it, firing his Kalashnikov into the air. The car never returned, but the family decided it had had enough. Omar and his mother fled to Jordan. Speaking to TIME shortly before leaving, Omar worried that he might never return. "To be forced [out] because of my name ...," he says, before his voice trails off. The grim reality is that for Omar and countless others like...
