...Dominica. Before long, the two of them are in bed together, with the TV again bearing witness: "About nine we started to make love but then quit in the middle of things and went for a walk. We got hamburgers at a beach dive called the Rubber Shack that specialized in scuba gear, then went back to the motel. She fell asleep ten minutes into David Letterman...
...characters that he stays in them on the set and off; the star who takes off years at a time to work as a cobbler. (Before the new film was shot, he helped build the house Jack and Rose live in.

Sharaf, 41, has worked only six months since the beginning of the intifadeh in September 2000. He lives with his wife and eight children in a shack on Block 4 of the Jabalya refugee camp in Gaza. They subsist on $7 a day scrounged from relatives. Desperate though it sounds, the family's predicament is hardly rare in Gaza's slums--and it is why Sharaf plans to vote for Mahmoud Abbas, head of the Palestine Liberation...
