...McGirk states, "She broke with her parents' Zionist views; friends say she'd rather have a peaceful Israel to bequeath to her children" [June 16]. I didn't realize that for Israelis, having nationalistic feelings and a desire to live in peace are mutually exclusive. Robert Isler, Fair Lawn...

In the 1950s, when suburbia first began to sprawl, a perfectly trimmed front yard embodied the post-war prosperity Americans aspired to.
