...sacrifice over 70 of their own and jeopardize their hope to end years of illegal occupation and savage massacres because of an "innocuous, inconspicuous and wholly inoffensive tunnel?" Can anyone be truly convinced that Palestinian protest towards the irresponsible affairs of a more powerful state are only "hysterically paranoid comments?" Former prime minister Shimon Peres expressed his disappointment by saying that no Israeli mother he knows is willing to sacrifice her children for tourism, that nothing positive could come out of opening this project, and that a 2000-year-old tunnel could remain closed for a couple more years...
...surprising smell emanates from Only the Paranoid Survive (Currency Doubleday; 202 pages; $27.50), a literate new business-technology book from Intel CEO Andy Grove. The first wave comes as he describes how the microprocessor giant narrowly avoided tanking after shipping defective Pentium chips and then ignoring customer pleas for help in 1994.

No way. Then to my amazement, I found out that there are 10 Jewish Senators (nine of whom are Democrats), more than any of the groups I am considering. They come from all over the country, including Oregon, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, two from Wiconsin and two from California. A group that represents a mere 2 percent of the American population occupies 10 percent of the Senate...
...with men off at war and women taking their place in the factories, Hollywood turned paranoid. Film noir made the black widow an embodiment of evil as seductive as she was destructive. What man wouldn't want to go to hell with Lana Turner in The Postman Always Rings Twice? What man wouldn't prefer hell to two days in a motel room with the spectacularly shrewish Ann Savage in Detour...
