Attorney General Zamir described the pressure for him to drop his investigation as "intense."

Warned the Jerusalem Post: "The foundations of the rule of law in Israel may be in grave jeopardy...

But crack's low cost has also made it particularly appealing...
...shrewd, almost awesome in its ability to grasp and retain material. He takes a lot from his voracious reading. "This morning," he wrote recently in his diary, "I read an hour or so of The Razor's Edge (Somerset Maugham's novel about a restless man searching for inner understanding).
