Nothing short of mass expulsion will satisfy the more radical settlers. "The Jews who live here should be decorated for their patience," says Aharon Domb, 32, who runs a yeshiva in Hebron. From his bulging briefcase he pulls out an assortment of Palestinian weapons: rocks, metal spears, and spikes designed to rupture tires. By his count, 541 vehicles were damaged and 30 Jews injured in Hebron during April and May alone. "Look at what we have to live with," he says, displaying pictures of broken windshields and bleeding faces. "We accept that settling the land of Israel requires suffering...
...Brancusi: an egg-shaped form, a glass sign for a head. Sometimes it appears on its own -- once, in a piece called Sigh, 1979-80, with the "face" cut away and resting resignedly inside the egg, an image of exquisite poignancy. Usually the head is fixed to a metal plaque with edges and attachments that suggest a window frame, and thus someone (the sculptor himself) looking out into our space.

Thermo Electron, a Waltham, Mass., company, is negotiating to build in China a $110 million co-generation plant that would turn out electric power and ferrosilicon metal by reusing the same fuel (coal). But, says chief executive George Hatsopoulos, "if the situation reverted to anything like the ((1960s)) Cultural Revolution, we wouldn't want to have anything to do with China...
Rock music has become a dominant -- and potentially destructive -- part of teenage culture. Lyrics, album covers and music videos, particularly in the rock genre called heavy metal, romanticize bondage, sexual assaults and murder. The song Girls L.G.B.N.A.F. by Ice-T contains the words "Girls, let's get butt naked and f." Or consider these lyrics from Motley Crue's Girls, Girls, Girls, an album that reached No. 2 on the Billboard chart and has sold more than 2 million copies...
