Last Saturday, Palestinians dressed as Israeli soldiers infiltrated a settlement and killed four people, including a five-year-old girl. In response, on Monday Israeli soldiers dressed as Palestinian civilians infiltrated Hebron and opened fire on Palestinian police. Though the fighting in Israel has diminished in recent days, the war goes on. The Staff would continue to play the politics of brinkmanship; we would prefer small but significant steps toward peace...
Jerome Gibbons works about 60 hours a week, just as he did five years ago--but with one difference. In 1997 Gibbons held two demanding jobs--as a wheelchair attendant at Los Angeles International Airport and a security guard in an office tower. He still works 40 hours a week at the airport, but thanks to the city's five-year-old "living wage" ordinance, which raised the minimum wage for firms that contract with the city, his hourly pay has jumped from $5.75 to $9.54.

"Each group has had a period of carrying all of us," says Oberst. "If one person splits...
...nigh. Her neighborhood, Naroda, is largely Hindu. On the day after the Godhra killings, local Hindu leaders gathered a crowd of 2,000 residents and gave them simple instructions: Muslims had to be destroyed. When part of the mob reached Afsana's house, she fled with her five-year-old brother to a Hindu neighbor's house. From the neighbor's roof, Afsana saw the mob pull her parents from their home, douse them in gasoline and set them alight. Her four sisters were stripped, raped and killed. Along the lanes, other Muslim houses were burning...
