...Minister, Moshe Dayan: "We don't have much time to play with. The first phase [of the Cairo talks] will be over by Christmas. Then we must make the next move, either to meetings at the Foreign Minister or Prime Minister level or to Geneva in February to sign a peace treaty...
...that old-time religion is being recycled with ever increasing zeal. Countless people like Lee Buck were brought up to think that revivalism is the province of faith healers, holy rollers and counterfeit preachers?a thing of bad taste, or bad theology, or both ?and just possibly a sign of simple-mindedness or galloping hypocrisy as well.

...Spiegel, 63, a clinical professor at Columbia University's College of Physicians and Surgeons, measuring the eye roll is no mere cocktail-party game but "a pivotal clinical sign" of how susceptible a person is to being hypnotized. Even more surprising, he says it is also a rough index of some basic personality traits, including suggestibility and gullibility...
