...straight face, moves north each year with the melt. It is as much a harbinger of spring as a robin. Mud season is not winter and not quite spring. It is something in between, a few weeks transcending transition to become a season in itself. First comes a slow drip. Then a tentative trickle. Then the melt begins in earnest: a rush, a gurgle, a cascade. The earth squirts, muck and mire suck at boots, downhill becomes a torrent, uphill becomes a bog.

...looking like whereas vomit, or Pollock-in onyx, or his best work, at any rate-had an almost preternatural control over the total effect of those skeins and receding depths of paint.

Collective farmers like those of Moshav Sadot are demanding at least half of the estimated $2.2 billion-or 13% of the 1981 national budget-that Israel has set aside as compensation for the Sinai settlers. But even that will not console all of them. Says Ella Weizman, 31, who sits tensely with her husband Vito...
