The resurrection of a dormant language, Hebrew, for everyday use, a constantly renewed and invented tongue that has helped compose a functioning society, and democracy, out of the disparate characters and cultures that have come to the Promised Land from Poland, Morocco, Ethiopia, Mexico, everywhere. The earlier Zionist settlers had paved the way over several generations...

The usually dormant trade department has announced no fewer than three major investigations in the past month. Last week it issued a new summons against Geoffrey Collier, one of London's leading securities brokers, for allegedly using privileged knowledge of an impending takeover for his personal profit.
