...would be a mistake to underestimate the resilience of nature. Studies of other spills reveal remarkable recoveries -- even from shocks like the estimated 250 million to 350 million gal. of crude that was deliberately pumped into the Persian Gulf in 1991 by Saddam Hussein's army. Though the majestic coral reefs in the gulf still show the effects of their trauma, they are slowly rebuilding. Says Sylvia Earle, a former chief scientist of the U.S.'s National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, who visited the gulf last year: "The reef was like a weedy lot, not a healthy wilderness...
Since the deportations, Israel has revealed that 10 men were falsely deported. Only one of them has been returned. In addition, human rights organizations have found that nine more of the deportees had been scheduled for release from Israeli prisons or had had their sentences shortened, and were deported on the eve of their release as a sort of extension of their sentences.

Towering over Tony Kushner's 7 1/2-hour epic about gay liberation, AIDS and the Reagan era was a wall like the facade of some government colossus, already cracked and waiting to split open. It did -- to reveal an avenging angel that was just one of the acts of theatrical and metaphysical daring in this brilliant if roughhewn jumble of politics, fantasy and farce.
