...presiding over a 1993 White House handshake between Yasser Arafat and Yitzhak Rabin may have been eclipsed by a more dramatic, reality-TV image of the state of relations between these two peoples beamed around the world Sunday: A terrified Aldura doing everything in his power to shrink his slender frame behind that of his cowering father, whose pleas for Israeli soldiers to cease fire are answered with a fusillade of bullets, leaving the boy's limp body in the lap of his badly wounded father. The power of that image may come to symbolize the bitterness of the battle...
...slender boy with large brown eyes, who has been diagnosed with depression and attention-deficit disorder, should be under regular care by a doctor. The Haros family income, which rests on the mother's $5.35-an-hour job at a local candy plant, is low enough to qualify him for Medicaid. But for reasons all too common in Bush's state, Ray receives nothing from the federal and state insurer of the poor.

The only transdenominational figure on the scene, he will establish the nightly-news rat-tat-tat for the entire season of contention. His attitude toward the various denominations...
...some grizzled baseball types who don't believe in miracles say the answer can be found in Martinez's extraordinary fingers--long and slender like those of a pianist. They allow him to grip the ball longer and spin it fiercely, making it sing and dance. From the same arm motion, Pedro can deliver four very different pitches. He has a straight fast ball that approaches 100 m.p.h., a cut fast ball that moves in on left-handed hitters, a curve that suddenly dives for the plate and the game's best change-up, which often has a red-faced...
