...late that Sunday evening in August '82, as Reichert stood on the bank of the Green River discussing the case with colleagues, he had no idea how long the case would last. Reichert was 31 years old then, and during his three years in homicide he had dealt mostly with domestic fights or failed robberies.

Nowhere is that more true than at the right-wing end of the country's political spectrum. Prime Minister Ariel Sharon was dealt a cruel political blow by his own party early on Monday, when the Likud Central Committee rejected his pleas to consider the diplomatic consequences and voted almost unanimously to reject Palestinian statehood in the West Bank. Although the vote simply restated longstanding Likud policy, it was a calculated bid by former Prime Minister...
