...music may have momentarily bridged the gap between the Israelis and the Palestinians, but mutual incomprehension still lingered. The Palestinian kids had only a dim idea of the Holocaust, which is skimmed over in their history books, while the Holocaust survivors knew only that Jenin's teeming refugee camp had been home to dozens of suicide bombers who had blown up Israeli restaurants and cafes...
...lights dim in the screening room. Suddenly, the doomed Titanic fills the screen--but not the way I remember in the movie. The luxury liner is nearly vertical, starting its slide into the black Atlantic, and Leonardo DiCaprio is hanging on for life, just like always. But this time, I am too. The camera pans to the icy water far below, pulling me into the scene--the sensation reminds me of jerking awake from a dream--and I grip the sides of my seat to keep from falling into the drink...
...Fiji, called out. "This place," he said, jabbing his gun at a large stone house. "I saw him go in there."

She is strong...
...ozawa's support in the polls when compared with Japan's Prime Minister Taro Aso - the third lackluster holder of that office since Junichiro Koizumi resigned in 2006 - the dim view taken of his alleged role in the Nishimatsu scandal illuminates the paradox of Ozawa's place in Japanese politics. He is at one and the same time the single most radical critic of the Japanese postwar political establishment (it was his decision to bolt the LDP in 1993 that led to its only period out of office) and a supreme exemplar...
