To reconstruct the design, he relied entirely on God's cryptic commands to Noah (Genesis 6: 14-16) that the ark should have a door in its side, a skylight and three decks.

Now, as art historians rummage around to reconstruct the country's long-neglected artistic heritage, the two are getting a new and appreciative audience (see color page...
...expect Israel now to reconstruct the original powder keg that has exploded in her face three times in the past 20 years, sparked by the desire to blow her off the map, is the height of malicious folly. Yet this is what U.S.S.R.-U.A.R., Inc. proposes. Israel's new borders will have to be determined by its need for open and unchallenged life lines...
