Perhaps if more of them had supported their fallen leader in the last hard years of his life, this moment would never have come. As former Secretary of State Lawrence Eagleburger noted last week, Rabin was a leader who "was not trying just to hang on and preserve, but to build." Now it is up to those who survive to build that legacy for him. "The peace process," says former U.S. Ambassador to Israel Edward Djerejian, "has always been a race against violence on the ground and the extremists." Rabin's death will not have been in vain...

Public interest can be served only by improving the federal stewardship of what belongs to all Americans. ROBERT...
...other four gods he presents contain a similar mixture of idealism and practicality. "The Spaceship Earth" depicts all humans as stewards of a fragile planet, implicitly teaching tolerance and social responsibility. "The Fallen Angel" encourages critical thinking by stressing that error is inevitable, that blind dogma is dangerous and that much of what students learn in school is incorrect in "the American Experiment," he claims that having a government based on democracy and continuous argument is cause for patriotism. Yet, he cautions, we must remember that though "no shame need endure forever no accomplishment merits excessive pride." Finally, "The Word...
