...enchanting thing,/ is an enchanted thing/ like the glaze on a/ katydid-wing/ subdivided by sun/ till the nettings are legion,/ Like Gieseking playing Scarlatti." In short, human intelligence is too intricate to be replicated. When a computer can smile at an enemy, cheat at cards and pray in church all in the same day, then, perhaps, man will know his like. Until then, no machine can touch...

Only a week before the incident, the Arabs asserted, leaflets had been distributed, purportedly from an ultranationalist Jewish group, warning that if Jews were not permitted to pray on the Mount, the place would be taken by force.

...peace takes root, and normal relations between the countries develop, their joint effort will serve as testimony to the wisdom of face-to-face negotiation in solving disputes. Since its creation Israel has repeatedly offered to negotiate with any of its Arab neighbors. We can only pray that Egypt's sister states learn from her example that inflamed rhetoric and hostility are poor substitutes for peace...
