...required to serve in the army first for three years and then in the reserves for the next 30. They came with knowledge that Israel faces a threat to its existence daily, that no decade has passed without a war, and that their sons, their soldiers, might well die in battle. It is said in Israel that there is not a family that has not suffered a death by war. I was there for only seven months and even I met a person who would later die fighting in Lebanon. They came knowing that all their enemies would be within...
...instructions and burned the letter. The 23-year-old college student also recalled a file labeled ATFREAD that her brother had left on her computer. It said government agents would "swing in the wind one day" for their "treasonous actions against the Constitution" and ended with the words: "Die, you spineless, cowardice bastards." Ms. McVeigh, who recently said in an interview she doesn't know if her brother is innocent, provided jurors with a mountain of circumstantial evidence that Tim was in the frame of mind to take revenge for the government's actions at Waco. Her composure disappeared...
...contingent is still very active. RAMON TANAMAN, after years of toiling as a radiologist in New York, decided he needed "a change of perspective" and so joined the insurance industry.

The nostalgic poignancy of Griffith's Two for the Road hints at chances missed but also the pleasure of a longtime lover's company. Saint Teresa of Avila, a requiem for a childhood friend who killed herself, is addressed less to the dead woman or to those who miss her than to the saint who is expected to welcome her to heaven. Everything's Comin' Up Roses is a postmortem snapshot: "When I'm pushin...
Country music, even in the depths, is essentially Christian: it sees a happy ending, if not in this life, then in eternity. Death is a "sweet bluebonnet spring" ("When we die we say we'll catch some blackbird's wings/ And we will fly away to heaven") in the gorgeous remake of her Gulf Coast Highway, a duet with Hootie's Darius Rucker. His gruff baritone and Griffith's twangy soprano soar apart, then join in double rapture. The instrumentation--string quintet, Floyd Cramerish rolling piano, electric slide guitar--makes the song a pretty little anthology of pop's fine...
