Entering by a rear yard to avoid a protective squad of fedayeen in front, the Israelis climbed to Adwan's third-floor apartment. While one of them rang the front doorbell, the others somehow got in through another door. When Adwan answered the ring, the attackers were behind him. Before he could defend himself, they pumped 53 bullets into him. His wife jumped into bed with their six-year-old daughter and four-year-old son and pulled the covers over their heads.

It will soon light Western Europe and may one day heat New York. Two thousand miles to the southeast, gigantic cranes rear against the brilliant wilderness sky as they erect the skeleton of a new dam, half a mile long and 300 ft. high, across the frozen Angara River. Up in Yakutia, where temperatures dip to -90° F., reindeer-driven sleds bring supplies to geological-survey teams charting the wasteland for coal...
