...sweeping American novels seem to be all the rage these days. Jonathan Franzen set the stage last year with his verbose and neverending The Corrections, and recently another Jonathan—Jonathan Lethem—hit the literary big-time. Fortunately for us, Lethem’s efforts yielded a smarter and more complicated (albeit grandiose) novel, The Fortress of Solitude.

Yaalon told columnists from three newspapers that the Israeli government's "tactical decisions" were at odds with its "strategic interests." Military officials say Yaalon fears current policies will exacerbate the humanitarian crisis in the Palestinian territories, fuel popular rage and so provoke more attacks on his soldiers. Yaalon blames Sharon's hard-line policies for also contributing to the downfall of Mahmoud Abbas, who became the Palestinian Prime Minister in April, offering hope for the peace talks, but who resigned four months later. Sharon, an unapologetic and often uncompromising hawk...
