...sites, including the monument-strewn ruins of Teopantecuanitlan in the Mexican state of Guerrero, and the sacred shrine at El Manati, whose murky springs yielded the first examples of wooden Olmec statuary and the earliest known evidence of child sacrifice in Mesoamerica. Heat and hardship notwithstanding, the prospect of understanding the still shrouded origins of Mesoamerican civilization--and the haunting beauty of the items on display at the National Gallery--makes it all seem worthwhile...
...simple wooden table and plain black walls. I was lured into the city by my admiration for Rose--the journalistic antithesis of Ricki Lake--and his audacious attempt to construct a program that, in a sea of sound bites and gossip, truly delves into issues and personalities. The prospect of an "internship" heavy on research and light on gophering in such an environment of meaningful journalism seemed irresistible, so I applied.

Instead he might drive despairing Palestinians, who have profited even less than Israelis by the peace process so far, into battle. It is a possibility that Benny Begin, Menachem's son and another hardheaded prospect for the Likud government, concedes is real. A serious breach in the peace process would reinvigorate Hamas; its popular standing waned as rapprochement advanced, but its bombs have already claimed a kind of victory for those who think violence is the only road to Palestinian statehood...
