Internally, private capital was drying up; interest rates had risen...

They accused him of not fighting hard enough in the 1948 war, in which Israel held off and beat back its Arab neighbors and macje itself at home in a hostile land.

Since only one of their current trio--The Rope--has much strength, even if the acting were a bit less over-eager, two-thirds of the evening would remain interesting rather than intense or stimulating...
