...clubs in the New York metropolitan area are linked in an organization known as Palmach, named after an elite corps in Israel's army in the 1948 war of independence; half of Palmach's 400 members are Jewish, and most, for the record, insist that the target shooting is "strictly for sport." But one, an Auschwitz survivor, has his own reason. "Jews have to learn to shoot a gun," says Joseph Mittelman. "We didn't know the last time, and look where it got us."

...entries in a leather-bound book that Ali keeps at her bedside. It is filled with pressed flowers, insightful quotes, like Amedee Ozenfant's "The Romanticist has in him something of the Exhibitionist," and clippings of poems, like Yevtushenko's on the Kennedy assassination: "Loving freedom with bullets, you shoot at yourself, America!"
