Thus it is understandable that Israel is inordinately interested in Germany, periodically dispatching journalists to scour the land for insights. What is more surprising is that an Israeli newspaperman has produced an important analysis of both East and West Germany. Amos Elon, 40, foreign correspondent for the Tel Aviv newspaper Ha'aretz, claims no objectivity; he begins his tour in 1965 at Auschwitz in Poland, clearly announcing that he carries 6,000,000 cinder chips on his shoulders.

The bush, the prickly pear and the thorn trees are creeping back over the paddocks of Sherwood Ranch, a once-prosperous farm in African "territory" on the edge of the Kalahari Desert. It is presumably in Bechuanaland, being also north of Kipling's "great grey-green, greasy Limpopo River," and whatever its political future, a colonist would probably do better on the moon...
