...Netiv Ha'asara. "It's traumatic enough for the kids," he explains. "We didn't want them to change schools and we wanted to be close to Ashdod where both my wife and I work." He says he has no clue where they will eventually live. "We have to digest this new reality before making further decisions" he says...
Aside from such a penchant for masochism, the Russians have a curious affection for gangly words. These march across the pages with all the ostentation of our public during a time of war. For example, digest the word shapkozakidatelstvo if you can. Literally, it means “tossing-caps-up-in-the-air-ness” and connotes an arrogant faith in victory or success.

In 1939, while still an office boy at Chicago's Supreme Life Insurance Co., he pawned his mother's furniture for $500 and sent letters to 20,000 of the company's customers, inviting them to subscribe to a proposed magazine called Negro Digest. About 3,000 people sent in $2 each, and Johnson was on his way. Negro Digest lasted only twelve years, but a second Johnson magazine, Ebony, quickly became the journal of black America. Packed with news, feature articles and dramatic photography, it chronicled the civil rights movement and was a catalyst...
