James Rowe, who was one of Franklin Roosevelt's bright young men, still recalls with profound satisfaction trying to pull the country out of the Depression. Each day was a new surge of creation. If the ideas did not work, Rowe once said, they tore them up that night and started fresh the next morning...
...their own homeland and a self-determined destiny. As Eric Rouleau, the distinguished Middle East correspondent of Le Monde, pointed out earlier this year when speaking at Harvard in response to an Israeli Jewish questioner, the Palestinian situation is almost a mirror image of the Jewish situation before the creation of the State of Israel.

We know that we will live, and know that we will die. We love the creation that upholds us and sense that it is good; yet pain and plague and destruction are everywhere...
