...mobile homes near the archaeological ruins of biblical Shiloh (pronounced Shelow), are certain the Lord is pleased that his people have reestablished a settlement on the site. Almost no one else is. Shiloh is the newest of four illegal settlements in the West Bank created and populated by Gush Emunim (Group of the Faithful), a nationalistic religious group that believes in the God-given right of Israelis to inhabit ancient Judea and Samaria. Washington, most Arabs and even many Israelis regard the settlements - and the Begin government's refusal to uproot them - as a major obstacle to peace. Even...
...wing daily al Hamishmar last week: "If the government does not find a way to stop 'new facts' from being created while the difficult and complicated negotiations are actually in progress, it will not only lose American support but find itself in a confrontation with Washington." Even Gush Emunim is finding it harder to get commitments from Jews willing to live in these isolated, primitive communities.

So the old ladies who used to gush over my cute accent would now be made to pay through the nose for it. Young Chatworth gave a bitter laugh as he remembered how he used to flinch and try to hide that accent. Pah! Does the bearded lady shave? Does Tom Thumb lie about his height? Use it, boy. Sell anything...
...discover himself, falls completely flat. When Tom Rush recorded this song, he understated the lyrics, using only a guitar to accompany his soft, husky voice. Bromberg makes the mistake of injecting too much pathos in an already overly sentimental song, allowing a string section to drip, or rather, gush, while he croons in what sounds like a hostile Leo Kottke imitation...
