...impossible today to hear the word Jerusalem without thinking about the violence that is again bedeviling the Holy Land. The Palestinians do more than throw stones; and the Israelis are entitled to their own odes to lost children. Like 10-month-old Shalhevet Pass, the daughter of Jewish settlers in the mostly Palestinian city of Hebron, who died last month when a sniper put a bullet, apparently intentionally, through her head. Last week, one-year-old Ariel Yered was critically wounded in a Palestinian mortar attack on the Atzmona settlement in the Gaza Strip. Almost 400 Palestinians and 65 Israelis...
ISRAEL The Bullets Do the Talking Israeli army helicopters rained missiles on west bank targets in retaliation for a series of bomb explosions that killed two Israeli teenagers and a shooting that killed a 10-month-old child. The air strikes destroyed the headquarters of Yasser Arafat's Force 17 élite guard, killing two people and wounding at least 60.

"To many people outside the company, it was just a website closing down," says Cornes, "but to us, it was different. It felt like a death, as if something was disappearing out of your life...
...Bing's mother, Yee, slips off her sandals as she steps into the hut, clutching her 14-month-old baby. She sits down next to her son and while the baby scrambles to crawl from her lap, she begins pulling the paper backing from a piece of tinfoil, readying the foil for a smoke. Her hands are a whir of finger-flashing activity?assembling and disassembling a lighter, unclogging the pipe, unwrapping the tablets, straightening the foil, lighting the speed and then taking the hit. She exhales finally, blowing smoke just over her baby's face. Bing asks his mother...
