This time, the Israelis came to stay, bringing mobile homes of the type commonly used by West Bank settlers to build a makeshift barracks in line with a tough new policy announced by Prime Minister Ariel Sharon.

There could be no doubt that my fate and the fate of many others, perhaps of the entire world, had changed overnight. Something new and awesome had entered our lives, a product of the greatest of the sciences, of the discipline I revered." Before long, he found himself seconded to work with an ?lite group ordered to provide the Soviet Union with an identical weapon. Ever a patriot, he had no political...
