...worst winter he has ever seen, but he figures that they will rise with the temperatures. Murphy's uncannily accurate forecasting record in the past couple of years would make a bookie tremble. If he is right this time, the whole economy will perform much better than orthodox seers predict...
Once beyond the pipes and valves, a wholly new experience awaits U.S. audiences. Boettcher is the first "surround" music hall in the country, with 360° seating around the orchestra. There are a few such auditoriums elsewhere-in Mexico City and Berlin-but orthodox acousticians still believe that the best sound is heard in long, narrow rectangular spaces.

Almost no one else is. Shiloh is the newest of four illegal settlements in the West Bank created and populated by Gush Emunim (Group of the Faithful), a nationalistic religious group...
