...power. Our major allies fear the economic and military power of Palestinian fringe groups and the radical Arab states so much, and want to maintain their economic ties so badly, that their regional foreign policy has been nearly paralyzed. This is cause not just for disappointment that a golden opportunity is being lost, but for alarm that men like Khadafy see no end to their blank check for violence...

For every scene of raw artistry--as when young Celie's brutal husband "Mr." tears her away from her beloved sister Nettie--there are three others that seem photographed by Rainbow Brite for Hovel Beautiful.
