...later days, the Merlin of Mahwah could hardly play with the toys he invented. Arthritis froze all the digits on his right hand and all but two on his left. His fingers, which once flew over the frets at Mach 2, could hardly do the walking. "You know, I can't do what I used to do when I was 20 or 30," he told David John Farinella. "With the arthritis I got - Christ, I got no fingers. But what I got, I play. A knuckle here, a knuckle there. You forget about the arthritis and everything else when...
...route of a 12-state, $1 million bus tour organized by Americans for Prosperity, a GOP-linked conservative group. Its Patients First project last month ran a $1.3 million TV-ad campaign slamming national medical-insurance-reform efforts.

...advocates both a two-state solution and reconciliation with Hamas. He is also viewed a possible successor for Abbas if the Israelis decide to release him from prison. Although Israel's Minister of Minority Affairs Avishay Braverman suggested this week that Barghouti be released to help strengthen the hand of Israel's Palestinian peace partner, it remains unlikely that Netanyahu's right-wing government will free a man convicted for the death of five people. Meantime, Israel's hawkish Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman said Fatah's "radical and uncompromising positions" created "an unbridgeable gap between us and them." So, while...
