What are the ten suspicious words? Meese could not say because the Wallach memo has been classified by Independent Counsel James McKay at the request of the State Department. While an interagency committee considers whether to make the memo public, the Los Angeles Times reported that the words convey a suggestion that campaign contributions might be presented to Israel's Labor Party. But the party's leaders have denied ever getting a contribution aimed at buying a promise that Israel would not sabotage the proposed pipeline...
...Book and the Brotherhood is Iris Murdoch's 23rd novel. That number alone does not fully convey the amazing range of her productivity. For as seasoned Murdoch readers can attest, she has seldom been content simply to tell one story at a time. Her fiction typically doubles up, offering both explicit and subterranean tales.

Hence Kiefer's tragic image of Shulamite, 1983: a Piranesian perspective of a squat, fire-blackened crypt, the paint laid thick in an effort to convey the ruggedness of the masonry, whose architectural source (as Mark Rosenthal points out in his astute introduction to the difficulties of Kiefer's work) was a Nazi "Funeral Hall for the Great German Soldiers" built in Berlin in 1939. At the end of this claustrophobic dungeon-temple is a small...
