...balloting comes at a moment when the country must decide, in effect, how much it can risk on peace. To go with the imaginative Peres, many voters believe, means continuing the Arab-Israeli peace process at its current revolutionary pace, chancing that Israel will make concessions that may later prove calamitous. To go with the sober-minded Netanyahu means slowing the rapprochement to a less frightening speed, at the hazard of losing real opportunities to end the conflict...
...success in implementing the military provisions of the Dayton accords, those agreements will not lead to a single, unified Bosnia; rather they have merely deferred the resumption of war or, at best, provided an interim stage on the road to partition. The basis for this view is the uncertain pace of implementing the civilian aspects of Dayton--economic reconstruction, return of refugees, prosecution of war criminals, preparation for elections.

The older man would pace the stage pantherlike, an outsize Bible often waved aloft in the left hand, his right index finger jabbing forward as if to impale Satan against the horizon. The son stands as though his feet were in cement, his posture as unyielding as his message...
