Some Jews ignore the implications of Israeli activities saying that unless one lives in this insecure land it is impossible to determine what is right and what is wrong. No Jew in the world should avert their eyes in that way. In the same way that South African racism deserves the special attention of Americans because it shares our claims to western heritage, Israel now must be my focus of criticism because...
...Composer William Lloyd Webber, director of the London College of Music, and his mother Jean is a piano teacher. His brother Julian, now 36, became a noted concert cellist.

It is a landscape, viewed through a peculiar window a foot high and perhaps ten feet long. There are sea, land and river mouths, but the whole is rendered abstract and emotionally disturbed by the odd shape and the subtle colors. It is a plain and impenetrable as Dylan's "Sad-Eyed Lady of the Lowlands," despite helpful paper signs by the staff labeling various blotches as particular rivers...
