...first answer is very French but not much fun. Brigitte's uncle, a not-too-old goat of a Spanish nobleman, tries to horn in on her afternoon nap, and only the fortunate interruption of a passing prelate rescues the heroine (and the audience) from a fade worse than death.

Half the newcomers of recent years are Oriental Jews who never shared the peculiar Zionist and Socialist vision of Ben-Gurion's generation, and not even the old lawgiver can keep half their young folk down on the farm for more than the first year or two. The Sabras, the native-born...
