...Search & Destroy" [July 10], on Israel's raid against Hamas during the search for a kidnapped soldier, stated that "Gaza militants have fired homemade rockets at Israeli towns, usually missing but causing some injuries and great misery." Women and children have been injured and killed by the shelling. To call that "great misery" is a bit understated. As an Israeli living in the San Francisco Bay Area, I wonder how the San Jose police department would react if people in its southern neighborhoods fired missiles at its northern ones.

"These are the first steps to reinstate a state monopoly on the alcohol trade," says Vera Nefedova, general manager of Vincroft, a private company that runs a four-supermarket chain in Moscow. The state is set to destroy small businesses, and force others to enlarge, she believes: "It'll be easier to take them under centralized control that way." She may be right. Last summer, Russian President Vladimir Putin endorsed restoring the state monopoly on production and distribution of ethyl alcohol. And proposals for a State Shareholding Committee...
