...propounded by Canadian Philosopher Emil Fackenheim: Jews are forbidden to grant posthumous victories to Hitler. That includes maintaining loyalty to two Jerusalems: the earthly city and the heavenly one, the realized and the unrealized. For many Jews, the earthly Jerusalem remains an irresistible symbol of hope and triumph. For others, aliyah to the existing Jerusalem is not necessary to reach the ideal one. To them, "Next Year in Jerusalem" means a spiritual journey: contributing their special vision to help build something nearer to that heavenly city?the kingdom of God?throughout the world...

Those Who Vanished. Closer to the historical era, comparisons can be made between early Americans and their Old World contemporaries. Ceram tells of the work of Emil Walter Haury, a young field archaeologist in the 1930s who explored a site at Snaketown, Ariz. The Pima Indians said that it once belonged to the "Hohokam" ("those who have vanished"). Haury confirmed that the artistic Hohokam seem to have invented etching around A.D. 1000, hundreds of years before it appeared in Europe. Instead of using metal, they worked with seashells. They cremated their dead, methodically smashing whatever artifacts they had possessed...
