...ordinary Israelis, hemmed in by hostile neighbors for 19 years, the new territories are already becoming festive tourist grounds. And Israeli officials make no secret of the fact that they expect the tourist travel to continue indefinitely. Israel's domestic airline, Arkia, runs two full-load sightseeing flights a day from Tel Aviv that swing out over the Sinai for a look at the ruins of Nasser's tank corps, set down at Elath for lunch, then circle back via the Dead Sea and an aerial view of reunited Jerusalem.

This is not to deny Macbeth's ambition. Sure, he wanted to be king. But he had every right to expect that he would be anyhow, for it must be remembered that in 11th-century Scotland the kingship was an elective office and that Duncan's public announcement making his son Malcolm the heir-apparent was actually illegal. When Macbeth and Banquo first hear the Witches prophecies, they laugh at them...
