ISRAEL JOURNAL JUNE, 1967 and DEATH HAD TWO SONS, by Yael Dayan. From the 28-year-old daughter of General Moshe Dayan comes an exhilarating chronicle of the Israeli victory over the Arabs and a tough-minded, unsentimental novel peopled by ghosts of the Hitler era...

Seeking spiritual solace at Bruton Parish in Colonial Williamsburg, the historic Virginia town restored to Revolutionary-era authenticity by the Rockefeller family, Johnson heard a sermon on Viet Nam instead.
