Israel compensates for its numerical inferiority by the superior discipline and training of its troops and expert maintenance of equipment. Israeli pilots in their U.S.-built F-4 Phantoms and Skyhawks and French Mirages have consistently outflown the Egyptian and Syrian air forces in their Russian-made SU-7 fighter-bombers and MIG-21 interceptors...

And as each room's individual history is revealed, the mansion's benign cool-white exterior loses its gracious dignity...
