Books in four languages (Nehemiah is fluent in French and English as well as Hebrew and German) line the walls of the modest two-room home he shares with his wife, Alisa -- a short, heavy woman with a hesitant but pleasant smile. When his work permits, he often spends evenings over a chess-board. As a child, he used to play four of his friends simultaneously -- while blindfolded himself. Now he is one of the two internationally recognized chess referees in Israel. During August, he referees a three-week tournament in Jerusalem, with fifty-one nations competing...

Meanwhile, they proceeded with their annual meeting's more pleasant activities: serious private talk well moistened at lunches, cocktail bashes and elegant dinners. To provide a suitably opulent setting, Brazil hastily completed the late architect Affonso Eduardo Reidy's beachfront Museum of Modern Art, despite some peculiarly Latin difficulties. University students wrecked the bulldozers that were about to demolish their subsidized, low-price restaurant, which blocked access to the imposing museum. Brazil's central bank bought off the students with...
