...TIME's Jamil Hamad reports that the new edict may be behind the recent unsolved murders of two Palestinian land dealers. Hamad says the new Palestinian call for the death penalty would have been unthinkable if the peace accords were moving forward. But with no hope for progress in sight, it's just another manifestation of Palestinian anger and frustration at the Netanyahu government's decision to go ahead with the construction of new Jewish settlements in East Jerusalem...
...painting does not go in tandem with those of architecture and engineering. Yet when painting aspires to a "scientific" analysis of things in sight, when the ego of the artist recedes behind the task of examination, one can at least speak of parallels. The American Realist generation of the turn of the century would not have disagreed.

One of the most recognizable doctors in the country lives in one of its most private corners, at the foot of the remote Rincon Mountains in southern Arizona. To get there you have to travel about 35 miles outside downtown Tucson, along progressively rutted, flood-prone roads, until an incongruously suburban sign points you to the WEIL RESIDENCE. If Weil didn't show the way, it is unlikely you'd ever stumble across the place...
