...Saudis for their continued financial backing of Egypt. Unless the Arabs took joint action, he declared, "the Israelis will not stop until they have reached Mecca and seized your oil wealth."

Belisle recalls a hearing before a judge in which a mother was fighting a protective service attempt to put her small son up for adoption to protect him from her beating. The child fell while getting into the benches and hurt his head. The mother didn't flinch. "A few minutes later," says Belisle, "the judge decided to take the child away, and the mother burst...
