Certainly, there's something about once-in-a-lifetime occurrences that cry out for print. It's as if holding something tangible is a more satisfying way to process and mark big events than bookmarking a page. (See the 25 best blogs...
...Strange Light a more efficient, quasi-new-media version of that process? Not yet.

...strike came shortly after the region watched a tense handshake unfold 5,000 miles away in New York City with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, leader of Fatah, which controls the West Bank, and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. U.S.-led attempts at jump-starting the Israeli-Palestinian peace process in recent months have failed, in large part because of Israel's refusal to freeze construction of Jewish settlements in the West Bank. Egyptian-mediated talks aimed at reconciling rivals Fatah and Hamas have yet to see a breakthrough as well...
